Rémy Cointreau Global Travel Retail will celebrate the 140th anniversary of the Louis XIII brand by presenting the Rémy Martin Louis XIII Black Pearl Anniversary Edition at the TFWA World Exhibition this month (stand number: Marine Village Foyer 1A).
The limited series comprises just 775 numbered decanters, drawn from a tierçon that is part of the Hériard Dubreuil family’s private reserve in the Domaine de Merpins.
Handmade a century ago using oak from France’s Limousin region, the tierçon – marked C-100-93 – is said to be only the third of its kind to be released by the family in the past 100 years.

Only 775 decanters of Rémy Martin Louis XIII Black Pearl Anniversary Edition are available |
The decanter, created by the House of Baccarat, is a contemporary “˜Black Pearl’ version of the original metal flask that inspired Paul-Émile Rémy Martin when he created Louis XIII in 1874.
To craft this metallic decanter, the crystal was treated using a special plating technique that gives it a reflective quality, with myriad subtle contrasts of light and dark across its surface. Achieving this dichroic effect involves layering successive thin coatings of precious materials (titanium, carbon and gold) one upon the other.
The work of four generations of Cellar Masters, the Louis XIII Black Pearl Anniversary Edition is made up of nearly 1,200 eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne region, ranging between 40 and 100 years old.
This limited edition will be available worldwide, exclusively from Louis XIII’s partner outlets, including a very limited number of high-profile airports across Europe and the Middle East, as well as select luxury hotels and wine merchants. Recommended retail price is US$13,000/€10 000.
