LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The most floral of the major V.S cognacs. It is an unapologetically joyous spirit that prioritizes freshness and fruit, making it the perfect entry point for those intimidated by more traditional, oak-heavy brandies.

The Library Note

Legend has it that Napoleon Bonaparte personally praised Courvoisier, leading to its reputation as 'The Brandy of Napoleon.' Their V.S is a meticulous blend of several crus, designed to offer a fresh, fruit-forward experience that celebrates the terroir of the Jarnac region.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Fresh and floral with dominant notes of spring blossom, apple, and pear, followed by a hint of oak.

THE PALATE

Lively and approachable. Ripe orchard fruits are balanced by a delicate woody spice and a touch of honeyed caramel.

THE FINISH

Short to medium, with a clean, refreshing oaky linger.

Distilled Grapes

EXPERT TECHNIQUE

A blend of eaux-de-vie from the Fins Bois and Petite Champagne crus, distilled with and without lees to balance complexity and freshness.
