LOUIS XIII Unveils $28,000 BLACK PEARL Cognac, Limited to 398 Decanters
Cognac – September 13, 2026 -- LOUIS XIII Cognac has launched BLACK PEARL: TRIBUTE TO THE BIRTHPLACE OF LOUIS XIII, a new limited-edition expression priced at $28,000 per decanter and capped at just 398 bottles worldwide.
The release is inspired by Le Grollet, the historic cellar where the LOUIS XIII story began. Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau selected an extraordinary eau-de-vie from the House's collection of demijohns -- the only one identified as carrying the distinct signature of Le Grollet, a trait passed down from his predecessor, Pierrette Trichet. Loiseau infused it into a single, hand-selected tierçon to create the blend.
