An Interview with Baptiste Loiseau, the 5th Cellar Master | LOUIS XIII Gallery

“To select the finest eaux-de-vie suitable for LOUIS XIII from those gifted by nature, I taste all of the thousands of stored eaux-de-vie to decide which spirits to blend for the year.”
While many houses craft Cognac, Rémy Martin, one of the oldest, is distinguished by its focus on the cru (vineyard).
“Most of the eaux-de-vie I distill are not blended by my own hands. They become eaux-de-vie for the next generation, and the generation after that.”
With the previous Cellar Master, Pierrette Trichet, at the announcement of "LOUIS XIII Rare Cask 42.6"
Some of the eaux-de-vie (brandy spirits) used in the blend are said to be up to 100 years old.
“This Cognac can only be made in a very small plot, yet it is shared with the world and reaches the hands of connoisseurs, transcending time itself. Perhaps this is why it is called the King of Spirits.”
Cognac is a spirit where long history and tradition are condensed within its amber liquid.
Fifth Cellar Master, Baptiste Loiseau
“As Cellar Master, I want to continue the legacy so as not to disappoint those who love Rémy Martin Cognacs, including LOUIS XIII.”
By drinking it, one can feel connected to those who came before. It is this feeling that makes Cognac a mysterious, romantic, and uniquely unparalleled spirit.
“The connections between people—my predecessors, the grape growers—are the core of Cognac production,” he says.
Born in 1874. LOUIS XIII, sealing a century of time.
