Remy Martin release a limited edition run of 100 Jeroboam sized bottles of Louis XIII cognac.

Released just last month, we present the Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac in a special Limited Edition Jeroboam Sized decanter.  Rumoured to be a released product for over two years now, this represents the culmination of many collectors and connouisseirs hopes.  For those not aware of the Cognac, Louis XIII is Remy Martin's premier ultra luxury Cognac, which contains Eau De Vie's aged up to and exceeding 100 years of age and all from the Grande Champagne region of France, a very special claim for any Cognac.  In addition to which each standard 70cl bottle is presented in a Baccarat Crystal Decanter, with a cork and Baccarat Crystal Stopper, with a collar made from Gold Leaf, and offered in a Red Leather box lined in white satin, that also contains a Baccarat Crystal tasting glass.  These are the features which allow Remy Martin to both ask £1600 for each bottle, and do a brisk trade, with Demand often outstripping Demand.

With a Jeroboam Sized version of this amazing product, we see the Outstanding Cognac placed inside a 3 litre sized bottle, and whereas its smaller cousin is made from Baccarat, Remy Martin have opted for Cristalliare De Sevres, a brand which manages to lay claim to being older than Baccarat by some 14 years, having started in 1750 rather than Baccarat's 1764.  In addition to which, the Collar on this Jeroboam is made from 24 Carat gold.  The hole package is presented in a solid wooden box and comes with four crystal glasses also by Cristalliare de Sevres, and a working Pipette - the tool that master tasters utilise in Cognac cellars to test the Cognac in the barrels, to give a feel of the process to the customer.

So to recap, you would receive, 3 Liters or Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac, 5kg of Cristalliare de Sevres Crystal, 3g of solid 24 Carat Gold, 4 Sevres Glasses, one wooden box and one pipette.  And how much do you ask will this all cost?  Why the humble fee of £15,000, €16,000 or $22,000, depending on which market currency you prefer to operate in.  To steep?  well that is for you dear reader to decide, if not you had better get your order in fast, with only 100 of them available they is sure to go very, very fast.

N.B.  with regards to the question of value for money, it should be said that a 1930's decanter of Louis XIII cognac (unopened naturally) is set to go up for auction soon, valued by Remy Martin at around €50,000, whether this is a marketing tool, or an indication of excellent market appreciation is extremely difficult to say, if however it were the latter, a savvy and wealthy investor/connoussier could purchase two of these Jeroboams, put one in a safe to sell in 50 years, and drink and enjoy the other, smiling that essentially he got one for free.
