Why is Louis XIII cognac hailed as the "King of Cognacs"?

Which Louis XIII version has the highest resale value?

The resale values, from highest to lowest, are: Diamant, N°XIII Black Pearl, vintage Square Box Gold Cap (1980s), modern NFC-enabled version, and VVIP Limited Edition. Among these, the 1980s vintage Gold Cap version is consistently in high demand in the secondary market due to its thick crystal bottle and generous volume.

If I only have the bottle and no crystal box, can it still be resold?

Yes, but it will affect the valuation by approximately 20%-30%. The crystal box, velvet lining, and paper authenticity certificate of Louis XIII are all part of its value. If only the crystal bottle of cognac remains, we will still purchase it at market price; if you are willing to sell an empty bottle (some versions still have demand for separate crystal bottle purchases), we can also provide a valuation.

How much does a drop in Louis XIII's fill level affect its resale value?

The fill level is one of the most critical indicators for Louis XIII valuation. A full fill level (Into Neck) will fetch the highest price; a drop to the shoulder (High Shoulder) will be approximately 85% of the original value, and below the shoulder (Mid Shoulder) will be around 60%-70%. If there is leakage or the cork has sunken, the valuation will be further adjusted. We recommend storing it upright in a cool, dark room at room temperature.
