✨ Technical Specifications
The Courvoisier V.O.C. (Very Old Cognac) Baccarat Decanter from the 1970s represents the pinnacle of mid-century luxury spirits presentation. Housed in an exquisite, hand-blown Baccarat crystal decanter, this rare release contains highly aged eaux-de-vie selected from the finest crus of Cognac, predominantly Grande and Petite Champagne. Historically, Courvoisier's relationship with Napoleon Bonaparte cemented its reputation as the 'Cognac of Napoleon,' a legacy of prestige that is beautifully captured in this decanter. The liquid inside offers a window into the past, displaying the profound rancio, dried stone fruits, toasted nuts, and exotic spice notes that only decades of slow maturation in French Limousin oak can bestow.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in the early 19th century by Emmanuel Courvoisier and Louis Gallois in Paris before relocating to the historic riverside town of Jarnac in the Cognac region, Maison Courvoisier is celebrated as one of the legendary 'Big Four' Cognac houses. Renowned for receiving the royal endorsement of Emperor Napoleon III, the house crafts its distinguished spirits through meticulous partnerships with winegrowers across the premier crus of Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois. Utilizing traditional Charentais copper pot stills and aging in bespoke French oak barrels sourced from sustainable forests, Courvoisier emphasizes an aromatic, fruit-forward, and floral style. Its celebrated portfolio spans from classic, velvety blends such as Courvoisier XO and Initiale Extra to ultra-prestige releases including L'Essence de Courvoisier and the artistic, highly collectible Erté series.
