Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac 50 ml

Rémy Martin Louis XIII Cognac 50 ml is a miniature presentation of one of the most revered cognacs in the world — an ultra-luxury blend of century-old eaux-de-vie that epitomizes elegance, depth, and timeless refinement. Its extraordinary complexity and velvet-textured presence make it a pinnacle sipping experience for special moments or discerning collections.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Rémy Martin Louis XIII is produced in Cognac, France by Maison Rémy Martin, a house with centuries of expertise in fine cognac blending. Unlike standard VSOP or XO expressions, Louis XIII is a millésimé blend of up to 1,200 carefully selected eaux-de-vie, distilled exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the Grande Champagne cru — the region’s most prized terroir for longevity and aromatic complexity.

Each component eau-de-vie is aged decades in French oak casks, some for more than a century, before Master Blender selection and marriage. The finished cognac is stored in tierçons (large oak casks) within Rémy Martin’s cellars, where further integration refines its aromatic and textural harmony. The 50 ml miniature captures the essence of this painstaking craft in a collectible format that reflects the house’s heritage — meticulous selection, patient maturation, and balanced artistry.

Tasting Profile

Nose:
Deep and extraordinarily layered, revealing amber honey, candied orange peel, marzipan, preserved figs, and saffron, with hints of leather, tobacco leaf, and beeswax that emerge with gentle coaxing.

Palate:
Opulent and velvety, with rich dried fruit, toasted almond, dark chocolate, and subtle spice woven into a tapestry of silk-smooth oak influence. Floral undertones and warm caramel notes lend nuanced elegance while glimmers of exotic wood and spice evolve with time in the glass.

Finish:
Exceptionally long, resonant, and refined — lingering with warm spice, gentle oak tannins, honeyed fruit, and an echo of tobacco and sandalwood that tapers into a lingering, contemplative close.
