LOUIS XIII Cellar Master Unveils Rare Cask Legacy at Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival In a rare moment of exclusivity, LOUIS XIII Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau unveiled the RARE CASK legacy, a limited edition cognac produced in under 800 bottles, at the Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival earlier this year. This marked only the third time in the brand's 151-year history that such an exclusive release was made. The unveiling took place during "A Rare Moment in Time: A Luxurious French Dinner," a special event hosted by renowned chefs Max Boonthanakit, Markus Glocker, Philip Tessier, Laurent Tourondel, and Laura Werlin. The evening culminated with LOUIS XIII pours for the 20 ticket holders present, who had each paid $1,250 to attend. "We are thrilled to share this exceptional cognac with a select group of connoisseurs," Loiseau said in a recent interview. "The RARE CASK legacy represents the pinnacle of our craftsmanship and dedication to quality." LOUIS XIII's commitment to excellence is rooted in its history, dating back to 1874 when it was founded by Louis-Alexandre Marnay. The brand has since become synonymous with luxury and sophistication, with its cognac being sought after by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide. The RARE CASK legacy is a testament to the brand's continued innovation and attention to detail. Each bottle is carefully crafted to showcase the unique characteristics of the finest eaux-de-vie, which are then blended to create a truly exceptional spirit. "The process of creating the RARE CASK legacy is meticulous and time-consuming," Loiseau explained. "We select only the finest eaux-de-vie from our vast reserves, which have been carefully aged in oak barrels for decades. The result is a cognac that is both complex and refined." The unveiling of the RARE CASK legacy at Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival marked a significant moment in LOUIS XIII's history, one that will undoubtedly be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to experience it. As for what's next, Loiseau remained tight-lipped about future releases but hinted at ongoing innovation and experimentation within the brand. "We are always pushing the boundaries of what is possible with cognac," he said. "Our commitment to excellence remains unwavering, and we look forward to sharing our latest creations with the world." The RARE CASK legacy will undoubtedly become a highly sought-after collector's item among cognac enthusiasts, further solidifying LOUIS XIII's reputation as a leader in the luxury spirits industry. In related news, the Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival has announced plans to host an exclusive tasting event featuring the RARE CASK legacy later this year. Details are expected to be released soon, with tickets likely to sell out quickly given the high demand for LOUIS XIII's limited releases. *Reporting by Forbes.*
