✨ Technical Specifications
The Courvoisier Erté Collection represents an extraordinary intersection of fine art and master blending, created in collaboration with the legendary Art Deco artist Romain de Tirtoff, known as Erté. Released in 1991, No. 4 'Vieillissement' (Aging) is the fourth decanter in this highly coveted eight-part series. The artwork on the decanter beautifully symbolizes the silent, transformative years the spirit spends maturing in oak casks. Inside is an exquisite blend of rare Grande Champagne cognacs, some of which date back to 1892, the year of Erté's birth. This precious liquid offers an unparalleled sensory journey, showcasing the profound depth, rancio, and complex dried-fruit aromas that only extreme age in Tronçais oak can bestow.
