Description
When cellar master Pierrette Trichet discovered LOUIS XIII Rare Cask 43.8, she had no certainty that she would ever find another. But she kept her senses on alert, ever searching for a new treasure among the tiercons in the cellars.
And five patient years later, she felt that same emotion, that moment of revelation and discovery that she remembered so well. Pierrette Trichet had found her second Rare Cask, part of the Rare Cask Collection
‘For me, Rare Cask is more than anything a sensation – a feeling of nature and time bearing fruit in partnership with the skills that I possess. But make no mistake; it is Rare Cask itself that holds the key to its destiny.’
Pierrette Trichet, Cellar Master
The CoffretA fabulously detailed forged-metal ‘strongbox’ is sealed by a plaque that matches the precious neck chosen for the decanter.
The surface of the coffret is patterned with a quadrilobe motif that makes reference to the royal fleur-de-lys of France.
As the halves of the coffret part, the interior is illuminated and the luster of black crystal and rose gold is displayed to sublime effect. Mirrors contribute to the play of light on sparkling crystal details.
