LOUIS XIII, the Ultimate Dining Experience

A tribute to time and the finest materials, LOUIS XIII Cognac is the result of a tradition of excellence that has lasted since 1874. Designed as a natural extension of this heritage, the very first tableware collections stamped with the prestigious maison's logo further enhance the tasting experience.

The major events of history follow one after another and are never quite the same. What connects a banquet held at Versailles in honour of King George V, a toast with Queen Elizabeth II at the Louvre, and a dinner welcoming John F. Kennedy to the Élysée Palace in Paris? A signature, or rather, an emotion: that of the tasting notes of LOUIS XIII Cognac, king of cognacs and cognac of kings, the perfect accompaniment to the most remarkable gastronomic experiences.

The collections were developed bespoke to bring to life creations of infinite purity, whose apparent simplicity conceals genuine artisanal feats. Take, for example, the translucency of the Ode au Temps collection, whose incredible finesse offers a subtle play of light, reminiscent of the slow metamorphosis of eaux-de-vie as they patiently age in the shadows of cellars before blooming in the light of day. A delicate composition punctuated by a copper border, conjuring up images of the shine of Charente stills. Ode au Temps is therefore a tribute to the rigour and patience required in the cognac-making process.
