The ritual of the grand dinner has long been an exercise in sensory seduction, but Louis XIII is now ensuring the stage is as intoxicating as the spirit itself.
In a move that marries the rugged soul of the French terroir with the ethereal glow of a Parisian atelier, the Maison has unveiled its inaugural Art de la Table collections in Singapore. This regional debut marks a significant evolution for a name that has graced the tables of monarchs and connoisseurs for over a century, extending its storied art de vivre beyond the iconic crystal decanter and onto the very porcelain that holds the evening’s feast.
The collection arrives in two distinct movements, each a love letter to the elements that define the legendary cognac. The Soil is Our Soul series offers a tactile connection to the earth, with porcelain that mimics the chalky, mineral-rich terrain of Grande Champagne.
In contrast, the Light of Time collection plays a more mysterious game, featuring hand-carved facets that allow light to dance through the ceramic, much like the sun filtering into a limestone cellar where eaux-de-vie slumbers.
Crafted in Limoges by the artisans of J.L. Coquet, these pieces are far from mere vessels. Each item is a labor of love requiring the mastery of a dozen new techniques and the hands of forty skilled craftsmen to achieve its refined finish.
