Courvoisier 21Yr Old Connoisseur Collection - Item Code: 09230
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Courvoisier 21Yr Old Connoisseur Collection offers a luxurious sipping experience, perfect for special occasions or quiet evenings when you want to savor something truly exceptional. With an ABV of 40%, this French cognac is crafted from eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from the Grande Champagne region, then aged for over two decades in hand-selected oak barrels. The result is a spirit that balances elegance and complexity, reflecting both its heritage and meticulous production.
On the palate, Courvoisier 21Yr reveals layers of dried apricot, toasted almonds, and subtle spice, complemented by hints of leather and honeyed oak. Its velvety texture pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, enhancing the cocoa’s richness while drawing out delicate fruit notes in the cognac. When enjoyed alongside Roquefort cheese, the spirit’s nuanced sweetness tempers the cheese’s bold tanginess for a harmonious finish that lingers long after each sip.
Producer Information: Courvoisier
Courvoisier is based in Jarnac, a historic town in the Cognac region of France. The house was founded in 1828 by Félix Courvoisier and Louis Gallois, who established their operations along the banks of the Charente River. Courvoisier’s production approach centers on meticulous grape selection, primarily using Ugni Blanc grapes sourced from four top crus: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois. The distillation process employs traditional copper pot stills and double distillation methods to ensure purity and complexity. Aging takes place in French Limousin oak barrels, which impart distinctive aromas and flavors to their cognacs.
Beyond its flagship cognacs such as VS, VSOP, XO, and Napoleon expressions, Courvoisier offers limited editions and special blends that highlight unique terroirs or aging techniques. The brand has also experimented with cask finishes—such as Sherry Cask Finish—to appeal to evolving consumer tastes. While primarily focused on cognac production rather than other spirits like whiskey or rum, Courvoisier occasionally collaborates with artists or luxury brands for collectible releases that emphasize craftsmanship and heritage. Their portfolio reflects a commitment to both tradition and innovation within the premium spirits market.

Cognac is a type of brandy that originates from the Cognac region in France, known for its unique production process and rich flavor profile. Made primarily from grapes such as Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard, Cognac undergoes double distillation in pot stills or column stills before being aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of two years. The aging process enhances its complexity, with higher quality classifications like VS, VSOP, and XO often aged much longer.
The flavor and aroma profile of Cognac features notes of dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and spice with floral undertones that develop further with age. Its smooth and velvety texture provides a warming finish that makes it versatile for various occasions. Cognac is commonly enjoyed neat or on the rocks but also serves as an essential ingredient in classic cocktails like the Sidecar and French 75. The term AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) signifies its adherence to strict regulations regarding production methods and regional characteristics.
