Courvoisier's 'Trois Etoiles Luxe' (Three Stars Luxe) is a historic bottling that represents the predecessor to the modern VS (Very Special) category. Steeped in the rich heritage of Jarnac, this Cognac captures the classic house style that once captivated Napoleon Bonaparte. Crafted primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes sourced from the key crus of the Cognac region, it underwent traditional double distillation in Charentais copper alembic stills. The eaux-de-vie were then aged in fine-grained French oak casks from the Limousin and Tronçais forests. This historic bottling is celebrated for its vibrant fruitiness, delicate floral notes, and a subtle touch of oak spice, offering a nostalgic liquid window into the mid-20th-century blending artistry of one of the world's most famous Cognac houses.
