The universe of Louis XIII is a rarefied one. From the cognac’s complex blend of eau de vie sourced exclusively from the Grande Champagne region—some aged for a century—to the handmade crystal decanter it is comes in, every bottle of Louis XIII is the culmination of work spanning generations. It is this work that informs the cognac maker’s rarity and exclusivity, which extends to the Louis XIII Society, an owners-only club promising tailored services and experiences.
For the brand’s closest and most privileged clients, the opportunity to access even rarer and more exclusive offerings sometimes presents itself. One such example was the recently launched Jeroboam Commande Spéciale. It features the familiar 3-litre Jeroboam decanter, but comes with customisation of the crystal stopper, gold neck and central medallion. In turn, the bespoke creation is delivered in a unique red wooden coffret that serves both storage and display functions.
The Jeroboam Commande Spéciale’s level of personalisation necessitated a limited run of just 13 bottles across Asia. In Singapore, the offer was extended to and taken up by the Chng family, who have built a close relationship with the brand for almost a decade since Mr and Mrs Chng first discovered Louis XIII. The couple has since introduced their sons Ryan and Rodrique to the brand, and savouring its cognac is now a family affair. Such is the level of familiarity that the close-knit Chngs see Louis XIII as part of the family. This is reflected in their Jeroboam Commande Spéciale’s customised text on the decanter neck: Family for Life.
