For over 140 years now, the house of Louis XIII has delighted discerning drinkers with ever-greater expressions of some of the world’s finest cognacs. Throughout this storied legacy, there has been one continuous centrepiece that has tied it all together – the Louis XIII Classic. Introduced right as the French maison was founded in 1874, the Louis XIII Classic has housed some of the most iconic iterations of the Louis XIII Collection, ranging from La Miniature to the Louis XIII Magnum.

With each crystal gem being handcrafted by the finest crystal houses in France, every Louis XIII Classic is individually numbered, a personal invitation to share in the exclusivity of the Louis XIII experience. As Global Executive Director Ludovic du Plessis explains: “With each decanter taking generations of Cellar Masters to create, crafting Louis XIII is like building a cathedral: each perspective offers a different approach to the masterpiece.”


Encompassing a symphony of aromas and offering a veritable treasure trove of notes such as roses, honeysuckle and preserved plum on the palate, it’s small wonder, then, that Louis XIII Classic is the perfect celebratory toast to Chinese New Year and, makes just the right gift for that remarkable cognac-lover in your life.
