One of the world’s best cognacs: Louis XIII Remy Martin
Posted by: Admin : Category: Luxury Travel
I was fortunate enough to be sent a miniature of Louis XIII Remy Martin cognac last week, from the House of Rmy Martin which was established in 1724. This is no ordinary cognac – it is blended from no less than 1,200 eaux-de-vie (fruit brandies), all from Grande Champagne, and aged in century-old Limousin oak casks. A 70cl decanter of the cognac will set you back around 1,500. And, on 15th June 2011, Rmy Martin launched a highly exclusive Jeroboam bottle (3 litres, so more than 4 times the regular bottle) of Louis XIII, the decanter handedcrafted by skilled craftsmen at Cristallerie de Svres, making it a must-have for any serious collector, and with a price tag of 16,000.
