Louis XIII Black Pearl – A Gem is Born !

The house of Rémy Martin introduces the ultimate in luxury – Louis XIII Black Pearl. Presented in a Baccarat decanter with metallic sheen, this rare and special edition of Louis XIII comes from a single barrel, specially selected from the family’s personal reserve at the historical estate Le Grollet. Only 786 bottles of Black Pearl will be made, making this luxurious experience possible for just a few select individuals in the world. As a matter of fact, the sale of this product to buyers is by invitation only! Louis XIII is moving away from the traditional and has looked to the future, resulting in a unique decanter of crystal caressing steel that combines classicism and modernity; chosen to symbolise the original Louis XIII carafe found by a peasant in 1850 on the site of the battle of Jarnac. The technology for its creation has never been commercially available before, and the marriage with such a precious liquid is truly a benchmark in the luxury world. Each hand-blown carafe housing eaux-de-vie from the century-old barrel C100-29 will be individually numbered from 001 – 786 with a small allocation of Black Pearl being available to luxury aficionados from early 2007. Nicknamed the King of cognacs, Louis XIII has since its creation been the cognac of Kings and famously enjoyed by the likes of Queen Elizabeth and Winston Churchill. Louis XIII is made up of some one thousand two hundred eaux-de-vie, originating solely from the grapes in the Grande Champagne region; the finest and most sought after vineyards in all of Cognac. The special edition Black Pearl is the brand’s first launch in 20 years.
