Remy Martin Louis XIII 1980's Edition Cognac Grande Champagne 700mL

This is an antique decanter release from the 1980's presented in a beautiful red box including a Fleur de Lis crystal stopper.

The finest and most precious eaux-de-vie, made using grapes grown in Grande Champagne, are carefully blended over the years to create the cognac inside every Louis XIII Classic decanter. The eaux-de-vie are slowly aged in old Limousin tierçons (traditional aged French oak casks).

Hand-crafted by skilled artisans from the finest European crystal houses, each decanter is individually numbered and unique. The distinctive design, featuring a 20-carat gold neck and 10 distinctive spikes on each side, is inspired by a 16th-century flask uncovered from the site of the Battle of Jarnac, France, and later owned by Louis XIII founder, Paul-Émile Rémy Martin.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Luscious fruits, including figs and apricots, with hints of jasmine and honeysuckle.

Taste: Ripe fruits, delicate floral notes, and a touch of oak, offering a full-bodied and opulent taste experience.

Finish: A long and lingering finish, with lingering notes of dried fruits, warm spices, and a touch of vanilla.

"A tantalizing, rich nose unfolds in layers, with a floral bouquet of violets and jasmine followed by butterscotch and creamy vanilla, and finally hints of earthy leather, mushrooms, and oak. The palate is almost sticky and resinous it's so concentrated, offering honey, dates, dried orange peel, fig jam, and nuts, as well as nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger. This continues into a luscious, lengthy finish which evolves as it keeps going and going. Bright bursts of raspberries and another floral flourish at the back, alongside cigar box and well worn leather to close the show." - Jake Emen, Distiller (99 Points)
