A classic VSOP cognac, produced with grapes from four crus – Fins Bois, Borderies, Petite Champagne, and Grande Champagne, matured for up to 12 years in a selection of Courvoisier's own proprietary barrels. With layers of balanced oak, stone fruits, coffee, and gentle spice, it's a superbly versatile Cognac for both neat sipping and cocktails.
Whole coffee beans, mint leaves, kumquat, and red grape notes appear at first. Give it a minute and more savoury elements appear, with hints of buttered brown bread and a little whiff of sawdust.
More coffee notes as it opens (this would be a really good partner to espresso after a big meal). Develops touches of brown sugar, waxy apple peels, sweet pea, and a fragrant oakiness.
Ooh, a nice waft of almost smoky cinnamon on the finish. Slowly becomes sweeter with fresh pear and gummy bears.

Very smooth. I was able to drink it alone with ice and also as a cocktail. I offered my friend a glass who normally isn't a cognac fan but they very surprised at how much they enjoyed it.
For me this is quite a fruity cognac that is easy to drink despite its roughness. By that I mean if you like bourbon or whiskey, this cognac is probably for you. If you savour the taste you’ll be picking more and more fruits and such with each sip. A wonderful after dinner drink.
A deliciously smooth cognac tastes superb, with a wonderfully flavoursome taste with hints of vanilla and citrus, an absolute delight, love this brandy, will definitely buy again.‘
A smooth, indulgent drink with great depth. Enjoyed both neat and as part of cocktails.
I absolutely love this drink, it tastes like summer in my mouth. It’s rich and full of flavour, there’s a subtle hint of gingerbread coming through. Will definitely purchase again. #ilovebeingapartofthehometesterclub
