Remy Martin's Louis XIII now @ Flemingo Duty Free Shop, Accra

Dear All;
It gives me immense pleasure and I am proud to announce the arrival of the most sort after and rarest cognac in the world; “Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac”.

Remy Martin's "Louis XIII" however is different and occupies a unique place in the world of cognac, for several reasons:

It is made in relatively large volumes - the exact figures are a closely held secret, but certainly several thousand cases a year are produced. It has been produced more or less continually in the same distinctive bottle for over 130 years, since 1874.

ALL the cognacs that go into the Louis XIII blend are from Remy Martin's own stocks, and they are specifically selected for this purpose NOT after decades of ageing as one might expect , but as young brandies, right at the beginning of their life, shortly after distillation. No bought-in eaux de vie are used, nor any that were not originally chosen for the blend. More than a million litres of cognac especially set aside for Louis XIII are ageing in Remy

Martin's cellars at any one time.
The final product is a blend of up to 1200 different eaux-de-vie aged between 40 and 100 years old. In the last 75 years Remy Martin has had just three maîtres de chai responsible for blending the final cuvee, so the current bottling is in effect a collaboration between three generations of cellar masters. The current cellar master, Pierrette Trichet - the only female "master blender" at a major cognac firm - works with casks selected by her

predecessors, and in return selects young brandies that will only be blended and bottled decades after she has retired. Every year, around 3% of the cognac stored in cask evaporates, over time a staggering loss - for every litre of spirit originally put in cask, only 33cl - a third - survives to eventually be bottled.

The original concept dates back to June 13th, 1874, when Paul-Emile Remy Martin officially registered the brand under the name of "Louis XIII Tres Grande Champagne - Age Unknown". The name was based on the fact that the family had bought its first vineyards during the reign of Louis XIII - ie between 1613 and 1638.

So come all you collectors out there to buy an experience the rarest cognac as only 3 bottles are available in Ghana and very few in the world.
