Founded by Félix Courvoisier in 1828, Courvoisier became the official supplier of the house of Emperor Napoleon III and has long since been the choice of kings and nobles. Traditionally, this unashamedly masculine spirit was enjoyed neat or with a drop of water and consumed as a digestif by an older generation of discerning drinkers. Today, Courvoisier reveals in its versatility with innovative, light, sessionable cocktails fit for festive consumption throughout the day and night.
Courvoisier has unveiled its striking new contemporary aesthetic, which rediscovers distinctive codes from Courvoisier’s design archives to pay tribute to the past, celebrate the future and emphasise a commitment to redefining the cognac occasion. Inspired by the vibrant countryside of the Cognac region, the elegant new bottle injects a dash of French flair into family and friends’ cocktail cabinets — making it an ideal gift for the festive season.
