Remy Martin, the French cognac maker, is here with a very rare Louis XIII Cognac, drawn from a single cask. For the first time in the history of Louis XIII, cellar master Pierrette Trichet has decided to present one cask, “Louis XIII Rare Cask,” as a special edition for connoisseurs. The French house Baccarat has created a fresh new version of the iconic Louis XIII decanter, inspired by an ancient metal flask from 19th Century. The refreshing new decanter also comes handcrafted in black crystal, which requires more than 50 operations by some 20 Baccarat artisans. The neck of the decanter is dressed in palladium, and the decanter comes encased in a coffret forged in metal. Mirrors and internal lighting magnify the luster of the black crystal, and the metal clasp at the neck of the decanter, designed to secure the black crystal stopper further, accentuates the luxury design. The coffret is embellished with a quatrefoil design inspired by the royal fleur-de-lis of France, to mark the historic value of Louis XIII in a contemporary style. Only 786 bottles are available worldwide and each bottle comes for a price of $15,000.
