LOUIS XIII Black Pearl Anniversary Edition
In commemoration of 140 years as the King of Cognacs, an era distinguished by “unrivalled craftsmanship, passion, and excellence,” the House of Remy Martin has unveiled a limited series of 775 decanters. Within the decanter, the spirit has been drawn from a single tierçon in the family’s private reserve at the Domaine de Merpins while the decanter, hand crafted out of Black Pearl by Baccarat, pays homage to the original metal flask that inspired Paul-Émile Rémy Martin when he created LOUIS XIII 140 years ago.
