Aged 60 years in casks, this cognac is a blend of the finest eaux-de-vie from Archiac, a town known for the quality of its soils in the Petite Champagne area.

Laurent Merlin was established in 1870 in Arthenac by Laurent’s grandfather, Laurent Merlin (born ca. 1853) and has been in the family ever since. After Laurent it was Oscar (1885-1962), followed by Laurent. After Laurents demise in the late 1990s, his daughter Carmen was in charge. For the first few years she has produced new cognacs (VSOP, Vieille Réserve), but in the 2010s she started selling the stocks and sold the vineyards too. The Hors Pair was among the last bottles still available and is sublime. And maybe a little uncommon for a bouilleur de cru, but they made several vintage cognacs too.

Laurent Merlin preferred working with restaurants and connoisseurs. He was supplier of numerous famous restaurants like Taillevent, La Tour d’Argent, Troisgros, Bocuse and Faugeron. Other clients were l’Assemblee Nationale, Le Sénat, Le Ministerie de l’Economie et des Finances, to name just a few.

Since it's 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 from Verrerie Royale de Saint Louis in Münzthal but these reproductions were far from perfect and as such the production was entrusted to Cristallerie de Baccarat from 1920 onwards.

This Remy Martin Louis XIII has been produced by Cristal St-Louis between 1979 and 1989. Due to the fact the cork stopper has broken this decanter has been discounted considerably. Perhaps not really suitable for collecting this is an opportunity to taste one of the world's finest Cognacs for an affordable price.
