Courvoisier VSOP Cognac is a core expression from one of the major houses in the Cognac region, reflecting a balance between ageing and blending rather than a single vintage approach. Produced by Courvoisier, it is made from a blend of eaux-de-vie sourced primarily from the Grande and Petite Champagne crus, then aged in French oak casks for longer than the minimum requirement for the VSOP classification.
The house has a long history dating back to the early 19th century, and its production style centres on controlled maturation and consistent blending. VSOP expressions like this are designed to represent a midpoint in the range, offering more development than younger releases while maintaining accessibility. The focus is on achieving a stable house profile through careful selection of aged components, rather than highlighting individual casks or vintages. It remains one of the most widely recognised expressions within the Courvoisier lineup, reflecting both tradition and scale in Cognac production.
