✨ Technical Specifications
The Courvoisier VOC (Very Old Cognac) Decanter is a legendary release from this historic house, celebrated for its exquisite presentation and the rare quality of the spirits within. Historically presented in elegant, custom-designed decanters that pay homage to the hand-blown glass artistry of the 19th century, this bottling represents a masterclass in the art of blending. It is crafted from exceptionally old, slow-matured eaux-de-vie sourced primarily from the prestigious Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne districts. These spirits undergo traditional double distillation in Charentais copper alembic stills before their long slumber in bespoke French oak casks. The result is a remarkably complex spirit, rich with notes of dried fruits, old leather, warm spices, and the elusive 'rancio' that only decades of careful wood aging can bestow.
🍾 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.
