Espirit du Cognac (The Spirit of Cognac) captures the soul of cognac through the seductive grace of an exotic dancer, rising from mysterious depths. Subdued yet vibrant colours are used to symbolise the various stages leading to a state of perfect harmony. The Master Blender's comment: very elegant, complex and sophisticated cognac. Light cigar notes, amber and crispy bread. Full bodied and long, with a lot of subtleties. The great classic old Grande Champagne cognac. Erté, the renowned French artist of the Art Deco period, was a connoisseur of cognac. Courvoisier's remarkable Collection Erté consists of eight decanters, beautifully designed and inscribed by Erté and containing an exceptionally rare blend influenced by his impeccable taste. This classic blend, reflecting the warmth and sensuality of Erté's designs, is made from only the oldest Grande Champagne cognacs. The heart of this cognac is the 1892 vintage, the year in which Erté was born.
