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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1828 by Félix Courvoisier and Jules Gallois, Courvoisier is a legendary Cognac house headquartered in Jarnac, France, renowned for its rich heritage and historic association with Napoleon Bonaparte. The house meticulously crafts its spirits by sourcing grapes from the region's finest crus—Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—and employing traditional double distillation in Charentais copper alembic stills. Aged in bespoke French oak casks sourced from the Tronçais and Limousin forests, Courvoisier's cognacs are celebrated for their exceptional complexity, vibrant floral notes, and smooth finish. This rigorous dedication to quality is epitomized in prestigious releases such as the XO, Initiale Extra, and the highly collectible Erté Collection.
