Why is Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac so expensive?

wuts so good about it? it must taste like rainbows...|||It has a shot of the original distillation in every bottle. The bottle itself is made from crystal or something similar. If you look on eBay the bottles go for about $400 empty.|||The highest quality Cognac on the market today, Louis XIII de R茅my Martin has been carefully tended by three generations of R茅my Martin cellar masters.


The result is a magical combination of savoir-faire, art and patience.





Louis XIII de R茅my Martin uses only grapes from the Grande Champagne region which guarantees its unique, exclusive quality.


It is blended from eaux de vie, some more than a century in age, then it is aged in 'tiercons', barrels that are several hundred years old, in a cellar set apart for it alone.





Undoubtedly the world's finest, this exceptional Cognac has always been a favorite in the world of politics, fashion, and art.
