Product details
Rémy Martin's LOUIS XIII Black Pearl is an exquisite cognac that pays homage to the brand's rich heritage and dedication to craftsmanship. Established in 1724, Rémy Martin has cultivated a legacy of producing some of the world's finest cognacs, with LOUIS XIII standing as its pinnacle expression. The Black Pearl edition, introduced in 2007, is a collaboration with the esteemed crystal-maker Baccarat, resulting in a limited series of individually numbered decanters. Each decanter draws inspiration from a 16th-century metal flask discovered in 1850, reflecting a harmonious blend of classicism and modernity. The cognac within is sourced from a century-old tierçon, specifically the "C100-29," which has been part of the Hériard-Dubreuil family's private reserve since 1960.
The LOUIS XIII Black Pearl offers a sensory journey that begins with its silvery, iridescent appearance, a testament to the unique crystal decanter housing it. Upon nosing, it reveals a complex bouquet of exotic fruits, floral notes such as honeysuckle and dried roses, and subtle hints of spices. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious blend of figs, plums, and a touch of jasmine, culminating in a finish that lingers for over an hour, leaving impressions of saffron and cigar box. To fully appreciate its depth, it is recommended to serve LOUIS XIII neat in specialized cognac glasses, allowing the aromas to evolve as the cognac rests. This exceptional spirit pairs beautifully with fine caviar and shavings of jamón ibérico, enhancing the tasting experience with complementary textures and flavors.
