The Legendary Louis XIII & Other Cognacs From Rémy Martin
Thu, October 24, 2019 (6:30 PM - 8:00 PM)
Cost: $100
The house of Rémy Martin has been making Cognac since 1724, and their legendary Louis XIII Cognac has become the gold standard for which all other luxury spirits are measured against. For one night only we will taste Louis XIII along with three other Cognacs from Rémy Martin, as well as the unaged eau de vie they make. In all, the combined value of these spirits is nearly $4,000! Each handmade decanter of Louis XIII is the life achievement of generations of cellar masters, with some of the spirit being over a century old. First created in 1874, this Cognac is an exquisite blend of up to 1,200 grapes eaux-de-vie sourced 100% from Grande Champagne, the first cru of the Cognac region. Each eau-de-vie is matured slowly inside oak cask. Each individually numbered decanter is designed after an original 16th century metal flask, discovered on the site of the battle of Jarnac and bought by Paul-Emile Rémy Martin in 1850 and is made from fine crystal for generations, mouth-blown by some of the most skilled master craftsmen. Any customer that purchases a Louis XIII bottle will also receive a pair of engraved crystal stemware! Spirits to be tasted this evening: Louis XIII ($3,500 Suggested Retail), Rémy Martin XO Cognac ($200 SR), Rémy Martin 1738 Royal Accord Cognac ($70 SR), Rémy Martin VSOP Cognac ($55 SR) and Rémy Martin V eau-de-vie ($55 SR).
