Rémy Martin Louis XIII (1964-1968)

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 old presentation of Remy Martin Louis XIII Brand Rarest Reserve was sold in the USA between 1964 and 1968, bottled in a Baccarat decanter, accompanied by a card stating this Cognac was served to King George V and Queen Elizabeth at Versailles in July 1938 and again in April 1957 when Queen Elizabeth visited France.
