The LOUIS XIII dinner at Nobu has been designed to elevate both the cognac and the flavours of Nobu’s cuisine: Echoing the key elements of LOUIS XIII the scallop with foiegras, vanilla miso and a balsamic reduction reflect the spirit’s harmony, followed by the langoustine with caviar, Gomma dressing and crispy shitake for contrast. LOUIS XIII’s decadence is embodied by New York-style black cod, yuzu miso with kataifi. The fourth course, the Epitome, is rounded off by a Chilean sea bass with dashiPonzu before finishing the evening with the Elevation course of slow-cooked Wagyu flambé and truffle rice.
Understanding LOUIS XIII
LOUIS XIII thinks a century ahead; each decanter is the life achievement of generations of cellar masters. Since its origins in 1874, each generation of cellar master selects from our cellars the oldest and most precious Eaux-de-vie for LOUIS XIII. Today, Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau is setting aside our finest Eaux-de-vie, as a legacy to his successors for the coming century. LOUIS XIII is an exquisite blend of up to 1,200 Eaux-de-vie sourced 100% from Grande Champagne, the first cru of the Cognac region and features exceptional aromas evoking myrrh, honey, dried roses, plum, honeysuckle, cigar box, leather, figs and passion fruit.
