When cellar master Pierrette Trichet discovered LOUIS XIII RARE CASK 43,8, she had no certainty that she would ever find another. But she kept her senses on alert, ever searching for a new treasure among the tierçons in the cellars. And five patient years later, she felt that same emotion, that moment of revelation and discovery that she remembered so well. Pierrette Trichet had found her second Rare Cask.

LOUIS XIII RARE CASK 42,6 signalled its distinction with an alcohol degree beyond the expected 40 per cent, 42,6 degrees. But the level of alcohol is merely a signal. What sets a Rare Cask apart is the quite astonishing richness and intensity of its flavours. At the heart of the composition are those prized autumn flavours of nuts and dried fruit the longaged flavours for which LOUIS XIII is renowned. Which is no surprise, since this cask is by its nature born to the LOUIS XIII tradition.

But a Rare Cask is also blessed with flavours that are all its own. Alongside those autumn aromas, LOUIS XIII RARE CASK 42,6 declares its distinction with notes of plum and date, mingling with flavours of gingerbread and prune stone, punctuated by a final touch of tobacco leaf.
