Louis XIII: 2026 Year of the Horse Limited Edition Cognac

The Intersection of Art and Tradition: A Centennial Zodiac Limited Edition

Louis XIII, the prestige cognac brand under Rémy Cointreau, proudly unveils a limited-edition decanter set for the 2026 Lunar New Year. This new series features the Year of the Horse theme, continuing the artistic collaboration with Chinese paper-cutting master Liu Lihong. This marks the fourth consecutive year of partnership between the cognac house and the renowned artist.

The 2026 gift box design utilizes traditional Chinese seal-stamping techniques, depicting the Year of the Horse motif complemented by Hippeastrum flowers. The brand states these elements symbolize luck, prosperity, and joy for the New Year. This release follows a broader trend of luxury spirit brands launching highly collectible special editions for the Lunar New Year, which are essential for connecting with consumers in key Asian markets and the global Chinese community.

Premium Grande Champagne Eaux-de-Vie and Oak Aging Craftsmanship

Louis XIII is crafted with meticulous care using the finest eaux-de-vie, exclusively sourced from Grande Champagne, the premier cru of the Cognac region. Each component ages for decades in traditional Limousin tierçons (thin-walled French oak casks), with some aging for over a century.

As the pinnacle of the Rémy Cointreau portfolio, Louis XIII reinforces its leadership in the ultra-luxury spirits category. With the 2026 Year of the Horse edition, the brand again demonstrates the perfect balance between heritage and Asian cultural connection.
