LOUIS XIII Cognac Unveils Limited-Edition 2026 Lunar New Year Coffret Celebrating the Year of the Horse

Jan 5

LOUIS XIII Cognac has unveiled its highly anticipated 2026 Lunar New Year coffret, introducing the LOUIS XIII Classic Decanter Year of the Horse, a limited-edition release destined to captivate collectors and connoisseurs alike. Renowned for blending centuries-old craftsmanship with cultural storytelling, the annual Lunar New Year coffret has become one of the Maison’s most coveted offerings—and the 2026 edition continues that legacy with striking artistry and symbolic depth.

For this release, LOUIS XIII marks the fourth year of its collaboration with LIU Lihong, a celebrated heritage craft inheritor of traditional Chinese papercut art. The collectible decanter is adorned with the 2026 zodiac animal—the Horse—rendered using traditional Chinese stamp techniques, alongside vibrant Hippeastrum flowers. Together, these elements symbolize blessings of fortune, prosperity, and joy, aligning the Maison’s enduring philosophy of time and legacy with the spirit of renewal that defines the Lunar New Year.

Encased as an artistic statement piece, the Year of the Horse decanter reflects LOUIS XIII’s commitment to honoring cultural heritage while elevating fine cognac to the realm of collectible art. Available through LOUIS XIII’s network of Private Client Directors, the limited-edition coffret carries a suggested retail price of $4,600, underscoring its exclusivity and appeal to discerning collectors.

Beyond its exterior, the cognac within remains a testament to time-honored excellence. LOUIS XIII is crafted from the finest and most precious eaux-de-vie, sourced from grapes grown in Grande Champagne, the premier cru of the Cognac region. These eaux-de-vie are patiently aged for decades in old Limousin tierçons—traditional French oak casks—before being expertly blended, a process refined and passed down through generations of Cellar Masters.

Perfected over more than a century, each sip of LOUIS XIII is a taste of time itself, embodying provenance, patience, and precision. As the Year of the Horse approaches, the 2026 Lunar New Year coffret offers a luxurious way to toast new beginnings, celebrate prosperity, and honor the enduring craft that defines one of the world’s most revered cognacs.
