[edit] Production
The cognac is manufactured using grapes from the Grande Champagne territory of Cognac, France. It is blended from 1200 eaux de vie, some more than a century in age. Then it is aged in tiercons (oak barrels that are several hundred years old) in its own cellar.
On 15 June 2011 the cognac house launched a Jeroboam bottle of Louis XIII,[1] a magnum decanter with the price of €16,000 ($22,600).
[edit] Price
A 750 ml bottle of Louis XIII may be priced as high as US$3,000; however the average price range is $1,900 - $2,500. "Louis XIII Black Pearl" is a limited edition cognac packaged in 786 individually numbered Baccarat dark crystal carafes.[2] The edition completely sold out within two months.[3] Decanters were sold in Tokyo for 1 million yen ($9,494 US).[4] At Vancouver International Airport a Rémy Martin Louis XIII Black Pearl 1.5 litre bottle was sold to a Chinese couple for US$34,000.[5]
