PALATINUM EXPERIENCES
Wow, you have arrived at the most sublime PALATINUM experience, and it’s not by coincidence; something has caught your attention and here you are, so…
…Let’s suspend time and stop all the clocks:
Have you ever imagined tasting the passage of time? 100 years of ageing of the most prestigious cognac in the world allows you to travel back in time to feel it on your palate, in a unique setting, Louis XIII very own cellar.
A personal and exclusive tasting, a visit to the cellar where the best cognac in the world, the Louis XIII, is aged for more than 100 years, and where time stands still for you.
This cognac is made with grapes from the Grande Champagne, in the territory of Cognac, France. It is blended with 1,200 of the finest eaux de vie (clear and colourless fruit brandy), from 40 to 100 years old. It is aged in tierçons (centenary oak barrels) in its own cellar.
The first encounter with Louis XIII is one of vision; allowing the light filtering through the glass to reveal its mahogany color. Then, the sense of smell comes into play; the first hint of Louis XIII is incredibly rich, combining floral aromas with spicy fragrances. Once the notes of jasmine and saffron hold your nose, your are entering the rich and harmonious world of Louis XIII.
“On the palate, it is both generous and subtle, with flavors vacillating between candied fruit, dried pineapples, honey, sandalwood, incense, cigar and coffee, as well as notes of orange peel, mint, the suggestion of something in the vein of chamomile or pine, and then more of that fruit with which it all began. The complexity is such that each sip seems somehow different from the last.” Baptiste Loiseau, Louis XIII Cellar Master
Ambiance, palate, sight, touch, temperature… everything is in the air in this unforgettable sensory experience to be enjoyed with all five senses.
