A RARE TREASURE
COMES TO INDIA
LOUIS XIII Rare
Cask 42,6
March
18, 2013
– Selected guests from 17
countries gathered in Udaipur, ‘the City of Sunrise’, to celebrate with panache
the global launch of LOUIS XIII RARE
CASK 42,6 - only the second such cask to join the RARE CASK collection.
A “Rare Cask” is a single, extremely rare barrel discovered among the hundreds
of century-old tierçons that will one day go to make LOUIS XIII.
Among the guests were Pierrette Trichet,
gifted Cellar Master of the House of Rémy Martin, and her deputy Cellar Master
Baptiste Loiseau. It was they who revealed this one utterly Rare Cask of LOUIS
XIII that Nature has endowed with an excellence that is all its own. No two
tierçons are ever quite the same size, and this Rare Cask is one of the smaller
ones: sufficient for just 738 decanters distinguished by a small but
significant increase in alcohol, beyond the expected 40 percent. This new Rare
Cask expression takes its title from its unique alcohol degree of 42,6 degrees
of alcohol.
LOUIS XIII RARE CASK 42,6 celebrates the
classic LOUIS XIII blend of 1,200 eau-de-vies, 100 years in the making, here
featuring salient aromas that are unique to this one precious cask – notes of
plum and dates, mingling with flavours of gingerbread, prune stone and ginger,
punctuated by a final touch of tobacco leaf.
The splendour of Udaipur made this the
perfect setting to welcome such rare treasure from the House of Rémy Martin.
Udaipur in Rajasthan is the capital of the ancient kingdom of Mewar, home to
the world’s most ancient surviving royal dynasty. All around are the rich
tokens of the maharajah’s legacy – devoted to the pursuit of excellence, as is
LOUIS XIII.
LOUIS XIII RARE CASK 42,6 - all decanters
will be serial numbered from 001 to 738, available from LOUIS XIII
certified retailers, best palaces, hotels and restaurants (LOUIS XIII Fortress
network). Suggested retail price, 18 000
€
