LOUIS XIII presents RARE CASK 42.1, a rare cognac discovered by Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau—a testament to the wonders of Time and Nature. This exceptional edition is limited to 775 black crystal decanters, each crafted with precision by Baccarat.
A single tierçon, aged in century-old French oak, has revealed a unique aromatic profile with an unexpected 42.1% ABV. The eaux-de-vie inside undergoes a mesmerizing transformation, deepening in complexity before reaching its perfect moment. The unveiling of a Rare Cask is an extraordinary event, happening only a few times in history.
Each decanter showcases exquisite craftsmanship: a gold-and-rhodium-finished neck and an engraved ring referencing France’s fleur de lys. Presented as a ritual set, the decanter is accompanied by crystal glasses featuring black quatrefoils and a serving pipette with a black medallion.
LOUIS XIII celebrates this rare discovery with an exclusive event in Venice, a city rich in heritage and artistic beauty. This milestone joins past unveilings in China and India, where connoisseurs gathered to witness history.
With RARE CASK 42.1, LOUIS XIII reinforces its dedication to preserving luxury, savoir-faire, and the enduring legacy of time. It is a tribute to visionaries who care for wonders—so that they may inspire generations to come.
