These experts select from over 1, 200 different eau de vie – some younger, while some date back centuries – to create a harmonious blend of rich flavours. Over 250 disparate aromas are incorporated together, resulting in a vivid freshness of passion fruit and spice of ginger to rich notes of candied plumbs; giving the tipple its common comparison to drinking a sumptuous sip of perfume.
Even while the focus of carefully distilling decadent cognacs, equal attention is paid to the bottling process as well, ensuring the finished product is fit for the eponymous French king the brand takes its name from. As such, each bottle is lovingly handcrafted by artisans of one of two French royal crystal workshops – Baccarat or Saint Louis – transforming the containers into glorious works of art fit to present as the perfect gift for the Lunar New Year.&nbsp;

The coffret comes complete with an integrated mirror display to showcase the decanter in wine stores, restaurants, palaces, hotels and at home, and a dedicated book to discover more about LOUIS XIII. The new coffret opening ritual is inspired by the gastronomic tradition of “la cloche”, the lifting of the bell to reveal a masterpiece, thus implementing a new opening ritual for LOUIS XIII.
The Smart Decanter itself, meanwhile, comes equipped with a smart NFC chip integrated in the cork stopper, which opens up an exclusive world of privileges to customers, with a mere touch on their NFC-enabled smartphones. Each decanter will directly connect clients to the LOUIS XIII Society, a private club where members can enjoy exclusive content, unique experiences and personalised services.

The fine folks over at Louis XIII have unveiled their latest spirited masterpiece – which is surely set to nestle alongside its already semi-legendary collection of fine cognacs – the most certainly one-of-a-kind Le Salmanazar, its first-ever nine-litre crystal decanter. Beautifully crafted by Baccarat, the venerable French curators of fine creations, it is officially the largest crystal cognac decanter in the world and a more-than-fitting placeholder for some of the most precious eaux-de-vie ever to see the light of day. Truly a work of art, Le Salmanazar is sure to grace any gentleman’s liquor cabinet capacious enough to contain it.

In what is set to be a dream come true for ardent antique collectors across the city, an authentic 1953 Hermès-Radio – Annecy vintage radio is up for grabs courtesy of The Time Machine @ Museum Concept, right here in Hong Kong. While the product shouldn’t be confused with the French luxury house of the same name, this refurbished classic one-off wireless is, nonetheless, a very special find, especially as it comes with a Bluetooth 4.0 upgrade, a new 120W speaker and a 50W analog amplifier. <a href="http://www.museumconcept.com.hk">www.museumconcept.com.hk</a>

Nove, a bold new Swiss watch brand, is looking to make its mark in the home of horology by creating the slimmest diver’s watch the world has ever seen, courtesy of its newly-debuted Trident timepiece. Taking inspiration from the mighty weapon wielded by Poseidon, the Greek god of the oceans, the Trident is said to be only 6.8mm thick, making it thinner than any other dedicated deep-sea chronometer. Arguably, it’s more than just a statement piece, with its water resistance to depths of up to 200m making it quite an impressive entrée for the marine-minded marque.

Five unusual gift ideas for him this summer

Our fathers are the silent heroes in our lives. This Father&#8217;s Day, surprise your dad with a premium cognac from French luxury cognac brand Louis XIII – an ideal gift&nbsp;with a special engraved note of &#8216;Happy Father’s Day&#8217;* as a tribute to this very special man in your life.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45950" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1-8.jpg" alt="Louis XIII" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1-8.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1-8-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1-8-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1-8-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1-8-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1-8-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1-8-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
At Louis XIII, legacy carries a lot of weight. Just like our fathers mentor and guide us, each generation of cellar master at Louis XIII creates and nourishes the special cognac that carries the maison&#8217;s legacy into the future. Just as our relation with our father bridges the gap between the past and the future, so also the transmitted knowledge of each of Louis XIII&#8217;s cellar masters creates a bond between the past and the future – culminating in the cognac that lives on for generations&#8230;
The enchanting beauty of the cognac is visible in its rich amber hues, but it is only in its aroma and taste that a whole range of flavours open up – from light floral notes of dried roses and honeysuckle mingled with the rich candied notes of preserved plums to rich notes of cigar box and leather giving way finally to the vivid freshness of passion fruit, spiked with ginger, thyme or myrrh. With each drop, opulence vies with vivacity making every tasting a special occasion.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45951" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2-10.jpg" alt="Louis XIII" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2-10.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2-10-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2-10-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2-10-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2-10-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2-10-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2-10-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
But notwithstanding the rich aromas and flavours of the drink, gifting a Louis XIII cognac to your father is also very much a symbolic gesture. As a family-run luxury brand born in 1874, that still upholds strong family ties, Louis XIII represents a promise to honour family values through time – symbolises the emotional connection between you and your father.

Raise a toast to daddy dearest with Louis XIII cognac

Luxury cognac brand Louis XIII is well known for embracing the rich history of the maison. But it seems the cognac house is equally adept at modernity as it is in nostalgia. Indeed, the iconic French brand has just ushered in the future of drinking with the Louis XIII pop-up boutique at the prestigious Shenzhen MixC shopping mall, following the success of Louis XIII boutiques in Beijing, London &amp;Xi’an. &nbsp;
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-42950" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3-2.jpg" alt="Louis XIII " width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3-2.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3-2-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3-2-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3-2-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3-2-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3-2-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3-2-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
A gem – or as the French say, &#8216;un petit bijou&#8217; – modelled after the original design concept of the Louis XIII boutique in Beijing, the Louis XIII pop-up boutique in Shenzhen MixC is an example of French art de vivre. Here, sophisticated shoppers who have been following Louis XIII on social media can discover the classic cognac in person. From the precious La Miniature to the limited-edition Le Jeroboam, followers will get the opportunity to see and acquire the rare items permanently featured in the Louis XIII Maison Collection.

The pop-up boutique has also attracted the attention of celebrities, with famous Chinese actress Vicki Zhao Wei dropping in to buy a Louis XIII Magnum, amid much fanfare. She was welcomed by Cheryl Chong, Louis XIII Brand Director of Greater China, who said: “It is our pleasure to serve our best clients in the South China region, right here at the Louis XIII pop-up boutique. Our clients will have the opportunity to view and acquire exclusive Louis XIII items at Shenzhen MixC, where the Louis XIII pop-up boutique will be present until 28 February 2019.”

It&#8217;s safe to say that once the Louis XIII Smart Decanters hit the markets, we&#8217;ll not just be thinking – but also drinking – a century ahead!

Let’s drink to the future with the all-new Louis XIII Smart Decanter

<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-37018-3" width="640" height="360" autoplay="1" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1806/June07_LouisXIII.mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1806/June07_LouisXIII.mp4">https://www.igafencu.com/video/1806/June07_LouisXIII.mp4</a></video></div>

Born in 1874, LOUIS XIII was the vision of Paul-Émile Rémy Martin, the third generation to head the ancestral cognac house, which today still upholds the strong family ties and values of its origins.
When Paul-Émile’s son sought a successor in 1925, he turned to André Renaud, a trusted partner with whom he had been working for over 15 years. From the 1960s, André worked hand in hand with his son-in-law, André Hériard Dubreuil, to whom he entrusted the house legacy.
It was André Heriard Dubreuil who founded in 1965 what is known today as the Alliance Fine Champagne, a visionary partnership with local winegrowers, leaving the house an invaluable heritage that cemented its success. Still today, the Heriard Dubreuil family is the cornerstone of the legendary cognac house, the guardians of its values and history.
So as LOUIS XIII celebrates the iconic LOUIS XIII Legacy Limited Edition Magnum, we talk to Marie-Amélie Jacquet, fourth-generation member of the Hériard Dubreuil family, on what makes this drink so exceptional.
Was it always part of your plan to join the family business?
&nbsp;It was absolutely the opposite. I always said that I don’t want to join the family business; I want to do my own thing. In fact, I was an investment banker based in London. Funnily enough, my mother was exactly the same. She had her own job and even started her PR company when she was pregnant with me. She kept that going for about 10 years and after that, she relented and joined her father and her brothers, who had asked her for many years to join the family business. In my case, I changed my career path after I had a prolapsed disc when I was 30 and my doctors advised me to change my lifestyle.&nbsp;
I had always cared very much for Rémy Martin and Rémy Cointreau, and I wanted to prepare myself to carry on the legacy of our great brand. I know there will come a time in the future where our decisions will shape the company’s legacy and we need to prepare for that and there’s no better way to do that than by learning from the inside.
How has life changed for you since the career move?
Well, it’s a lot less stressful now! I did have a bit of apprehension in joining the company as a family member. At that time my mother was the chairwoman, so I did wonder if it would be a new dynamic altogether. But luckily, two of my cousins joined around the same time and it was so much easier than I had anticipated. And when I say it’s a family company, it’s not merely because the family is involved in the company but because Rémy Cointreau – the company – is actually a big family.
Could you tell us a bit more about what makes the LOUIS XIII Legacy Limited Edition Magnum so unique?
&nbsp;It is very special, not just because it’s a very limited release of only 500 decanters, but also because we had the privilege of bringing together our four last cellar-masters. Each of them had a great part to play in creating the drink that we have with us today. It takes decades – even generations – to make a product such as the LOUIS XIII Legacy Limited Edition Magnum.
How do you anticipate LOUIS XIII’s legacy to be in the future?
&nbsp;I think LOUIS XIII will remain the drink of choice for great celebrations. I think it’s a celebration of history because it takes so long to make. As a brand, we are also committed to thinking a century ahead. I think what sets us apart is our promise and commitment to make LOUIS XIII not just for foreseeable decades but for centuries.
