✨ Technical Specifications

The Courvoisier Erté Collection No. 1 'Vigne' is a legendary masterpiece of liquid art, representing the pinnacle of Cognac craftsmanship and Art Deco design. Released in 1988, this bottle marks the first collaboration between the historic house of Courvoisier and the celebrated Russian-born French artist Erté (Romain de Tirtoff). The exquisite decanter features Erté's signature stylized artwork depicting 'Vigne' (the vine), representing the soul of the grape harvest. Inside is an extraordinary blend of rare, mature Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie, some of which date back to 1892—the year of Erté's birth. This precious spirit offers an incredibly complex sensory journey, characterized by deep aromas of exotic spices, dried fruits, old leather, and delicate floral undertones, culminating in an exceptionally long, velvety finish.

🍾 About the Producer

Founded in the early 19th century by Emmanuel Courvoisier and Louis Gallois in Paris before relocating to the historic riverside town of Jarnac in the Cognac region, Maison Courvoisier is celebrated as one of the legendary 'Big Four' Cognac houses. Renowned for receiving the royal endorsement of Emperor Napoleon III, the house crafts its distinguished spirits through meticulous partnerships with winegrowers across the premier crus of Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois. Utilizing traditional Charentais copper pot stills and aging in bespoke French oak barrels sourced from sustainable forests, Courvoisier emphasizes an aromatic, fruit-forward, and floral style. Its celebrated portfolio spans from classic, velvety blends such as Courvoisier XO and Initiale Extra to ultra-prestige releases including L'Essence de Courvoisier and the artistic, highly collectible Erté series.
