product Details

Rémy Martin Louis XIII Black Pearl Baccarat Decanter

A spectacular release from Rémy Martin. This beautiful Baccarat decanter contains liquid which was drawn from a single 100 year-old tiercon (blending) cask. It was made up of small quantities of 1,200 different eaux-de-vie some of which were over 100 years old.

In 1724, a young winegrower named Rémy Martin started to produce cognac under his own name. What started out as a small operation would go on to become one of the most famous names in the history of distilled wines. So successful were his first few decades that he would attract the attention of King Louis XV, who in 1738 personally granted him the incredibly rare permission to plant new vines in recognition of his fine product. After Rémy Martin died in 1773, the family business passed through the hands of several different family members and close associates of the company, before merging with Cointreau in 1990 to form the Remy Cointreau group. Rémy Martin VSOP was launched in 1927 and today remains the best-selling VSOP cognac of all time. At the end of the Second World War a bold decision was made when the then head of the business, André Renaud decides that the house will exclusively produce cognac made from Petite Champagne and Grande Champagne crus only. After almost 300 years of production, today Rémy Martin is one of the most celebrated cognac producers in history and a well-established symbol of luxury.

The Black Pearl Anniversary edition was bottled to celebrate 140 years of the Maison in 2014.

Baccarat Crystal was founded in the commune of the same name in north-eastern France in 1764. The company was given permission to start the manufacture of window panes, mirrors and stemware by King Louis XV, but It wasn't until 1816 when the first crystal oven was installed. For well over 250 years the company is renowned for its high quality and craftsmanship
