Choosing Your LOUIS XIII Gift
An Exceptional Decanter
An exceptional creation, LOUIS XIII’s iconic decanter is of a majesty beyond the realms of time, its signature circular shape a symbol of balance and perfection in Renaissance fine art, and its fleur-de-lys motifs evoking the Louis XIII style. Featuring an 18-carat minimum gold neck and 10 distinctive spikes on each side, its iconic design was inspired by a 16th-century flask uncovered and later owned by LOUIS XIII founder, Paul-Émile Rémy Martin.
Each LOUIS XIII decanter is entirely unique and individually numbered, having been hand-crafted by Crystal Masters from the finest crystal houses with skills only generations of transmission can impart. The pure crystal glass refracts light upon its radiant liquid with perfect clarity, suspending the flow of time within its translucent walls.
To gift a decanter of LOUIS XIII is to gift a timeless work of art that has graced the tables of visionaries around the world and participated in pivotal points of history – a powerfully symbolic gesture worthy of the momentous occasion that is a wedding.
A Range of Sizes
The LOUIS XIII Classic decanter is the quintessential cognac gift, the ultimate expression of our cellar’s finest eaux-de-vie since 1874. For a wedding gift idea that is a jewel-like introduction to LOUIS XIII, the Miniature (5cl) decanter preserves the same defining features as the larger decanters and makes for a covetable wedding gift or luxurious party favor. For a grander gesture, LOUIS XIII offers larger sizes of the iconic decanter: the Magnum (1.75L), the Jeroboam (3L), the Mathusalem (6L), or even the largest of all, the one-of-a-kind Salmanazar (9L).
For a gift idea that speaks to the dynamism, THE DROP distills the essence of LOUIS XIII into a single precious drop (1cl), small enough to be held tightly in the hands. Choose from five distinctive color expressions each echoing a different form of spontaneity: Loud, Glow, Bold, Smooth and Bright. Available individually as a sure-to-be-coveted wedding favor, or as a collection of all five colors for a thrilling wedding gift, THE DROP also features colorful shoulder straps that make it possible to carry the luxury essence of LOUIS XIII wherever life leads the recipient, unrestrained by place and time.
Accessories to Enhance the Gift
Complete your gift with complementary accessories so that your loved ones have everything needed to transform the tasting experience into a true ceremony. LOUIS XIII Cognac represents the culmination of patience and unique savoir-faire, resulting in its unrivaled flavor profile. Such a creation demands the same level of time, care, and attention when tasting in order to best appreciate its complex and individual aromas. LOUIS XIII accessories are the perfect touch to add to a tasting ritual.
A pair of two “Facets of LOUIS XIII” glasses expose and enhance the many facets of LOUIS XIII Cognac so that they are allowed to shine through - for the eyes, nose, and palate. Each glass is crafted with the precise care and savoir-faire of our Crystal Masters who add an extra level of luxury without compromising functionality.
To take the tasting ritual one step further, the specially designed LOUIS XIII Spear can be used to draw out cognac from your LOUIS XIII decanter to ensure a precise pour. This elegant spear's design echoes the traditional spear used by our Cellar Master to draw the aged eau-de-vie from its tierçons.
