✨ Technical Specifications
The Courvoisier Celebration Sensorielle Initiale Extra Gift Set showcases the pinnacle of the house's blending artistry, featuring the legendary Initiale Extra Cognac. This rare elixir is a masterful marriage of extremely old eaux-de-vie sourced primarily from the prestigious Grande Champagne and Borderies crus, aged to perfection for several decades in Tronçais and Limousin oak casks. The Borderies crus contribute an exotic, velvety floral character, while the Grande Champagne components provide structure, power, and immense aging potential. The 'Celebration Sensorielle' presentation is designed to elevate the tasting experience, guiding the connoisseur through the spirit's complex aromatic profile of damp forest floor, rich truffle, old port, cigar box, and candied orange peel. Steeped in history, Courvoisier's legacy as the preferred spirit of the French imperial court shines through in this majestic, deeply layered masterpiece.
