✨ Technical Specifications
The Erté Collection by Courvoisier represents one of the most famous intersections of fine art and spirits. Designed by the legendary Art Deco master Romain de Tirtoff, known as Erté, the series originally consisted of seven decanters. Released posthumously in 1995, 'Inédit' (No. 8) serves as the final, ultra-rare tribute to the artist. This exceptional blend contains extremely old cognacs sourced exclusively from the prestigious Grande Champagne cru, including components dating back to 1892, the year of Erté's birth. The liquid is housed in a stunning, hand-painted decanter adorned with 24-karat gold, making it a legendary masterpiece of both liquid history and visual 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.
