✨ Technical Specifications
The Courvoisier Erté Collection is a legendary marriage of fine art and exquisite spirits, born from a collaboration with the father of Art Deco, Romain de Tirtoff (known as Erté). Released in 1989, No. 2 Vendange (The Harvest) features a stunning decanter designed by the artist, depicting the golden grapes of the harvest. Inside is an extraordinary blend of rare Grande Champagne cognacs, some of which date back to 1892, the year of Erté's birth. This liquid gold offers an incredibly complex nose of exotic spices, dried fruits, and old leather, culminating in a majestic, velvety finish that represents the absolute pinnacle of the blender's art.
🍾 About the Producer
Established formally in Jarnac in 1828 by Félix Courvoisier and Jules Gallois—following spirit merchant roots founded earlier by Emmanuel Courvoisier and Louis Gallois—Maison Courvoisier is one of the historic 'Big Four' houses of Cognac. Perched along the banks of the Charente River, Courvoisier operates primarily via long-term contracts with regional winegrowers rather than through vast estate vineyard ownership. The house relies on grapes harvested across four crus—Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—distilling wines both on fine lees and without lees to achieve aromatic balance. Aging unfolds in tight-grained Tronçais and Limousin oak casks, forging the signature floral and vibrant profile characterized as 'Cognac in Blossom.' Now owned by Campari Group and directed by Master Blender Thibaut Hontanx, Courvoisier balances historical cuvées like the Napoleon, VSOP, and XO Royal alongside modern collector releases such as the Mizunara Edition and L'Essence de Courvoisier.
