\nof 3 eaux-de-vie which, in over 40 years’ time, will perhaps be part of a blend of this century-old cognac.
\nThis initiatory journey allows us to discover the top notes (in the language of perfumery) and the evolution of
\naromas over the years: an eau-de-vie from the 2013 harvest, a 10-year-old eau-de-vie and the last
\n40-year-old eau-de-vie. Or the benefits of time on the concentration of eaux-de-vie…
\nWhen Baptiste Loiseau evokes aromas, his semantic field takes its inspiration from the Charente terroir.
\nFruity notes, undergrowth, mushrooms, damp earth, vegetal and spicy notes.

<\/a>\nWhen Francis Kurkdjian chooses to sketch the aromatic profile of the eaux-de-vie selected by Baptiste, a part of him emerges: perfumes from elsewhere, precious wood resins, impressions of warmth on the skin, pine needles on a wide expanse of fine sand…
\nThe climax of this encounter finally arrives with the tasting of LOUIS XIII. A rare moment to be appreciated with distance and respect, since four generations of cellar masters have succeeded one another in creating it.

<\/a>\nBaptiste Loiseau, cellar master at LOUIS XIII, leads the tasting. The aromatic notes come off one
\nafter the other, allowing us to identify and tame them. When Francis completes his interpretation
\nof what he senses, the perfumer shakes his empty glass like a key, releasing other aromas. A supple and singular gesture
\nthat proves the persistence of LOUIS XIII. This is the sign of aged eaux-de-vie,
\nrare and selected with the utmost care, waiting a long time in the shelter of the cellars, developing exceptional aromatic potential. <\/p>\n
