Courvoisier Erté Collection No.4 Vieillissement Cognac (40%)

The fourth chapter in the Courvoisier Erté series, this edition celebrates the ageing of eaux-de-vie in oak casks. It is made from very old Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie and bottled at 40% ABV. The nose is opulent and aromatic, with candied fruit, floral notes, oak, violet, dried apricot, orange blossom and rancio. The palate is rich and harmonious, with honey, roasted almond, warm spice, dried apricot, fig and vanilla. The finish is long and elegant, with spice, toffee and a floral lift. Each bottle features Erté's artwork and was housed in a numbered, collectible decanter; only 1,000 cases of each Erté edition were produced.
