Why is Louis XIII Cognac known as the "King of Spirits"?

Many people know that the quality of Cognac largely depends on the aging time in oak barrels. Rémy Martin's production standards have consistently exceeded French regulations; VS, VSOP, and XO are all aged in oak barrels for longer than legally mandated, with Louis XIII aged for a staggering 50 years. Furthermore, Louis XIII is composed of 1200 eaux-de-vie, and each bottle has been crafted by four generations of distillers over 50 to 100 years. This is how Louis XIII became synonymous with the world's finest Cognac, earning the reputation of "King of Spirits."
