Courvoisier
21 Year Old Cognac // 750 ml
Product Description
It was during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte’s rule, after the French Revolution, that Courvoisier Cognac first started to take shape. In the outskirts of Paris, Emmanuel Courvoisier opened up a wine and spirits shop with the help of the town’s mayor Louis Gallois. The location was perfect—close to the river for easy transport, free of city taxes and set in the middle of a bustling wine trade. Louis and Emmanuel's reputation grew quickly, so much that they were soon honored with a visit from the Emperor himself. Napoleon eventually became the company’s best customer, having decided that the French troops should be given a ration of Cognac every day to boost morale.
The Courvoisier Vintage Connoisseur Collection 21 Years Cognac contains the finest eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne cru (arguably the most exclusive Cognac-making region) and aged in the cellars at Maison Courvoisier for over two decades. The barrels chosen are made of fine-grained oak from the Tronçais forest—the perfect choice for extended maturation periods. The age statements used for the Connoisseur Collection are rather unusual; as Cognac cannot normally declare age statements because of BNIC restrictions (tracking, certification), Courvoisier had the smart idea to develop an in-house tracking system over 20 years ago to allow declaration of age on specific eaux-de-vie. While other producers rely on rough estimates, Courvoisier has moved ahead of the other major players in this regard. This 21-year-old vintage Cognac is, of course, no exception.
The Courvoisier Connoisseur Collection comes in a straight, classic bottle with gold lettering. The presentation box exudes elegance, with textures reminiscent of toasted oak and a golden plaque. We recommend savoring this vintage Cognac in a tulip glass, at room temperature. It’s also an excellent digestif after a heavy meal.
