Courvoisier VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) is a timeless expression from one of Cognac’s “Big Four” houses, crafted through expert blending of eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Fins Bois crus. Aged between 8 and 12 years in fine-grain Troncais and Limousin oak barrels, this VSOP offers exceptional smoothness and aromatic depth. The Fine Champagne crus contribute elegance and structure, while Fins Bois adds a vibrant floral and fruity character. The result is a medium-bodied, harmonious cognac that has earned a reputation worldwide for sophistication and balance.
