Courvoisier V.S.O.P (Very Superior Old Pale) Cognac is the mid-tier expression from Courvoisier, the house with a historic link to Napoleon — who famously chose Courvoisier brandy for his personal supply. V.S.O.P sits squarely in the sweet spot of the Cognac ladder: more developed than V.S, more approachable than X.O, and the benchmark grade that most Cognac drinkers measure other houses against.

Blended from a selection of eaux-de-vie aged a minimum of 4 years in French oak (most components aged considerably longer), Courvoisier V.S.O.P leads on the nose with jasmine, peach, and toasted almond. The palate delivers vanilla, caramelised fruit, soft honey, and a layer of oak spice, finishing medium-long with a warming nuttiness. It is balanced enough to sip neat from a snifter, stable enough to take a rock or two, and rich enough to anchor classic Cognac cocktails like the Sidecar, Vieux Carré, and Cognac-and-Ginger.

Courvoisier has been based in Jarnac in the heart of the Cognac region since the 19th century, and V.S.O.P remains the most commercially reliable pour in its range. If you already keep Hennessy V.S.O.P or Rémy Martin VSOP, add Courvoisier to taste the house differences. Pair with our full Cognac range. Ships to most US states.
