✨ 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
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.
