{"product_id":"courvoisier-vs-cognac-750ml","title":"Courvoisier VS Cognac 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eCourvoisier VS is the house's authentic, joyous introduction to its collection: a cognac from Jarnac blended from Fins Bois, Bons Bois and Petite Champagne eaux-de-vie aged between three and seven years, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCourvoisier has been based in Jarnac, a town on the Charente river between Cognac and Angoulême, since 1828, in the same château originally purchased that year. It is one of the great cognac houses, associated with Napoleon Bonaparte since the early 19th century and, since 2019, the most awarded cognac house. Its signature style, Cognac in Blossom, draws on the life and history of the Maison and the Jarnac region to reveal an exuberant, floral cognac.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVS is meticulously blended to defy category conventions. The Bons Bois and Fins Bois are distilled without lees, bringing fruit notes of apple, pear and grapefruit to the front. Next, spring blossom bursts forth in the distinctive house style. Finally, Petite Champagne distilled with lees adds complexity and length, beautifully balanced with a fresh oaky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFruit-forward and clean with moderate oak, it is one of the most accessible ways into cognac, and it has earned 92 points from Wine Enthusiast and a Gold Medal at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Pair it with an aged Comté, whose roasted hazelnut, caramelized butter, plum and pepper notes match the cognac's floral, oaky character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is an excellent cocktail cognac, especially in citrus classics like the Sidecar and the cognac French 75, and just as good on ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apple, pear, grapefruit, spring blossom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruity and delicate, floral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh oak, good length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHouse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Courvoisier, Jarnac, France (since 1828)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fins Bois, Bons Bois, Petite Champagne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eaux-de-vie aged 3 to 7 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cognac VS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShake a Sidecar or a French 75, or sip it on ice; it pairs well with aged Comté.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is it made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Jarnac, in the Cognac region of France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat crus are in the blend?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFins Bois, Bons Bois and Petite Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it good for cocktails?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, especially the Sidecar and the French 75.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cognac\"\u003eCognac \u0026amp; Brandy collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Courvoisier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68039721058613,"sku":"VWS_3818","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-31228.webp?v=1793834703","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/courvoisier-vs-cognac-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
