Courvoisier cognac is famous world-wide for its unique Napoleonic connection, dating from 1811. It was then that Parisian Wine & Spirit Merchant Emmanuel Courvoisier began supplying the court of Emperor Napolean I. Following an aborted attempt to flee to the U.S., Napolean's stock of Cognac was discovered by British Naval officers on board the escape ship. The British were so impressed with the drink that it henceforth became known as the 'Emperors Cognac'

Courvoisier VSOP700mL  40% ABV

The double distillation process is specific to cognac, and takes place in a traditional Charentais pot still made of red copper. Produce from the first distillation, the 'brouillis' is distilled a second time for 'La Bonne Chauffe' (The Good Heating). The distiller must then separate the final product into three parts: the heads, the heart (the young cognac, a clear and pure eau-de-vie at 70% ABV), and finally the tails. The stills work day and night from the beginning of November until the 31st of March. Unlike many of its competitors and because a smaller still allows better control of the quality and complexity of the young cognac, Courvoisier uses only the latter for both distillations.During maturation, only French limousin oak, preferred by spirit makers worldwide is used. The Master Blender personally inspects and approves every oak to be transformed into casks. Aged 100-200 years old, their finer grain woods add superb complexity and finesse. After selection by the Master Blender the wood is aged and controlled on our own premises to ensure the highest quality. These venerable oaks, from the state forests in France, are carefully cultivated and replanted to ensure a supply for future generations.Courvoisier ages its cognacs far beyond requirements prescribed by BNIC (Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac), the organisation which maintains cognac standards. The Courvoisier challenge is to make the same Courvoisier cognac year after year, a task made even more difficult by the fact that each year brings different vintages, different wines, and cognacs of varying characteristics. During the twentieth century only four people held the important and prestigious post of Maitre de Chai at Courvoisier. Jean-Marc Olivier, the master blender since 1986, is ensuring the high standards of Courvoisier are maintained in the twenty-first century.
Medium copper chestnut color. Sweet caramel and harvest fruit aromas. A round, supple entry leads to a dryish, light-to medium body with perfumy fruit and dry oaky spice. Finishes with a dry, spicy fade, fuel-like elements, and modest heat. A nice VS Cognac with some interesting character. 40% Alc./Vol.
