Rémy Martin Louis XIII Très Vieille – 1969-1978 Asia Edition
This rare Louis XIII Très Vieille Cognac, crafted by Rémy Martin, represents a remarkable period in its history. Produced between 1969 and 1978, this version is distinguished by its use of St. Louis crystal for the decanter rather than the later Baccarat design. The decanter features 10/10 fins (though variations with 10/9 and 9/9 have been seen), along with an elegant bean-shaped label reading "Louis XIII Very Old." With eaux-de-vie aged 40-100 years from Grande Champagne, this exquisite Cognac embodies luxury and history.
