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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1828 by Félix Courvoisier and Jules Gallois, Courvoisier is a legendary Cognac house headquartered in Jarnac, France, renowned for its rich heritage and historic association with Napoleon Bonaparte. The house meticulously crafts its spirits by sourcing grapes from the region's finest crus—Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—and employing traditional double distillation in Charentais copper alembic stills. Aged in bespoke French oak casks sourced from the Tronçais and Limousin forests, Courvoisier's cognacs are celebrated for their exceptional complexity, vibrant floral notes, and smooth finish. This rigorous dedication to quality is epitomized in prestigious releases such as the XO, Initiale Extra, and the highly collectible Erté Collection.
