Rémy Martin Louis XIII (1946-1950)
Since the introduction in 1874 Louis XIII de Rémy Martin, initially known as Age Inconnu, has been Rémy's most prestigious cognac, a blend composed of 1200 different Grande Champagne cognacs matured between 40 and 100 years, bottled in a decanter which was shaped after a 16th century metal flask found on a Jarnac battlefield in 1850 which was purchased by Rémy Martin.
Between 1874 and 1920 Rémy Martin Age Inconnu was sold in glass decanters made by Verrerie Royale de Saint Louis in Münzthal but these reproductions were far from perfect and so the production was entrusted to Cristallerie de Baccarat from 1920 onwards.
This very rare Rémy Martin Grande Champagne Tres Vieille Age Inconnu miniature decanter was produced between 1946 and 1950, decanter #79 with matching numbered fleur-de-lys stopper. In this post-WWII period production was extremely limited making this a exceptionally rare item.
