Metal flask Decanter

Looking back to the origins of LOUIS XIII, the first decanter was inspired by a metal flask found by a peasant in 1850 on the site of the battle of Jarnac. Whose flask was it? Up until now, it remains a complete mystery. Some say it may have been a knight's property… others say the owner was one General. LOUIS XIII Black Pearl is indeed described as flamboyant and elusive, transcending time with a glamorous design combining classicism and modernity. This unique crystal harbors at its heart a LOUIS XIII cognac that was aged in the "C100-29" century-old tierçon – a fabulous witness to the Century that has transpired.

A true rarity

Hidden since 1960 in a cellar located at the heart of the Grollet family estate, this extremely rare tierçon was one of the oldest in the family's personal reserve. It is said that you need fifteen thousand pearl oysters to obtain the queen of pearls. The fruit of nature, time, work and passionate people, LOUIS XIII Black Pearl is also of true rarity, which nothing or no-one can ever reproduce.

Tasting and serving suggestion

The full personality of LOUIS XIII cognac is brought to life when served neat in cognac glasses. We recommend using our cognac glasses, specially designed to enhance the tasting experience. To serve from your exclusive LOUIS XIII decanter, pour the cognac into the glass at room temperature and leave to rest for a few moments. This allows the unique aromas to permeate its surroundings.

The LOUIS XIII Time Collection – The Origin – 1874 decanter pays tribute to our very first cognac, and because creating LOUIS XIII cognac takes time, the tasting experience should be enjoyed in the same way: slowly. Discover LOUIS XIII Glasses.

LOUIS XIII Flavour notes

Inside the exclusive LOUIS XIII Time Collection – The Origin – 1874 decanter, is our signature LOUIS XIII cognac blend. The aromatic flavours burst with notes of exotic fruits and flowers. Figs, plum, honeysuckle and dried roses give way to distinctive spices and aromas. The finish lingers on the palate for more than an hour, leaving you with hints of jasmine, saffron and cigar box.

Food pairing

LOUIS XIII cognac can be enjoyed alone or with friends and family to celebrate a special moment. Food pairing can bring a new dimension to the tasting experience, and we recommend choosing food with similar prestige and flavour profiles, such as fine caviar, and shavings of jamón ibérico.
