Description
Its a special cognac collection: The Courvoisier Erte Collection includes 8 different bottles of cognac. No. 1 to No.7 of the Erte Collection bottle, and the decanter of 1988. The Russian-born French artist Romain de Tirtoff, also known as Erté (born in November 1892), designed the bottles of this limited editio: The visuals present the 7 steps of cognac making. The blends consist of rare Grande Champagne eau-de-vie, some of them are from the end of the 19th century, when Erté was born. The 8th bottle, Inédit, wasnt actually part of the original launch, as it was relesed in 1995.
About Courvoisier Cognac
Courvoisier is amongst the four leading Cognac houses in the world - also known as the 'Big Four'. Legend has it that the emperor Napoléon himself chose Courvoisier as his preferred Cognac, therefore Courvoisier brandy is often referred to as “The Cognac of Napoleon”. The company dates back to 1828 and since has its headquarters in the town of Jarnac. With prestigious bottles such as Courvoisier Napoléon or Josephine, the Cognac house is at the top of the luxury spirits market. The Courvoisier VS, VSOP, and Rose Liqueur are also very popular. The drink is strongly ingrained in US Hip Hop culture with Busta Rhymes and P Diddy dedicating the song “Pass the Courvoisier” to the traditional brand.
