This exceptional Cognac is a testament to Rémy Martin's dedication to craftsmanship and heritage. The Louis XIII Grande Champagne Cognac is a blend of up to 1,200 eaux-de-vie, aged between 40 and 100 years, sourced exclusively from the Grande Champagne region. This particular edition, dating from the early 1980s, is distinguished by its white capsule—the final version to feature this detail—and is presented in a plexiglass box, a packaging choice prevalent during that era. The decanter, crafted by the renowned Baccarat crystal house, embodies the elegance and tradition associated with the Louis XIII line.
