Description

This Courvoisier Cognac comes from Jarnac, in the heart of the Cognac region of France. Courvoisier was founded there in 1828.

VSOP stands for Very Superior Old Pale. Every eau-de-vie in the blend has aged at least four years, and some are up to twelve years old. The house blends four crus: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois. The wine is double distilled in copper pot stills. It then matures in French oak from the Tronçais and Limousin forests.

First you meet ripe late-season stone fruit, like peach and apricot, with a hint of vanilla. Soft summer jasmine comes through in the middle. The finish brings gingerbread spice and a silky feel. It is bottled at 40% ABV, or 80 proof.

This VSOP does well with judges. In 2021 it won Gold at the Cognac Masters and Double Gold at the China Wine & Spirits Awards. It also took Silver at the London Spirits Competition and from the Beverage Testing Institute. Falstaff rated it 92 points.

Enjoy it neat, over ice, or in classic cocktails like the Sidecar. Sixth Chief Blender Patrice Pinet says it works just as well neat as mixed. For food, the house suggests Brie. Dark chocolate, aged Gouda and roasted duck are good matches too.
