Created in 1874 as the lifetime achievement of Cellar Master, LOUIS XIII is one of the world’s most prestigious cognac brands. Named after the first French monarch to recognise cognac as a category of brandy in its own right, LOUIS XIII cognac has been enjoyed by politicians, royalty and celebrities throughout its long history, and has been present at many momentous occasions, such as being served on board the Normandy during its inaugural journey, and taking part in the famous Paris Exposition, the largest-ever world fair, in 1900. The uniquely elegant decanter has remained mostly unchanged over time, based on a simple 16th-century flask, decorated with fleurs-de-lys, that had been discovered on a battlefield in Jarnac, France. Each one is hand-cut, blown and individually engraved and numbered so that no two decanters are the same.
