Courvoisier VSOP is the house's signature multi-cru cognac, a delicate marriage of four crus for a subtly floral, uniquely complex richness, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) and shown here with its gift box.
The VSOP symbolizes the versatile, multi-layered nature of the House of Courvoisier in Jarnac. Late stone fruits drawn from the Borderies, Petite Champagne and Grande Champagne unveil a unique complexity, while Fins Bois lets a soft summer jasmine take the lead in the blend. Where some houses focus on a single cru for their VSOP, Courvoisier uses all four for more aromatic diversity.
Aged up to twelve years in the house's own proprietary barrels, it reveals hints of gingerbread with a silky finish. Expect the exuberantly floral house style of jasmine, rose and dried peach.
Presented in its red gift box, it is a classic cognac gift.
Cognac must be made from white grapes grown in the Cognac region of France, double distilled in copper pot stills and aged in French oak, with age categories such as VSOP and XO describing the minimum age of the youngest brandy in the blend.
VSOP stands for Very Superior Old Pale, a category that requires at least four years of aging.
Courvoisier is known for its floral house style, which this VSOP expresses well.
Its gentle sweetness makes it approachable for newcomers to cognac.
