Courvoisier Initiale Extra Grande Champagne Cognac 750ml

Product Description

Courvoisier has been producing many of the world's finest and rare cognacs for over 200 years. Each cognac in the Courvoisier range is a perfect blend of flavors that reflect our commitment to the craft of cognac. Courvoisier Initiale Extra is a blend of over sixty eaux-de-vie, aged to perfection over the decades. This bottle contains some of the oldest reserves of Courvoisier's precious cognacs, that have been allowed to develop their rich color and bouquet, in the rarefied Paradis, betheath Château Courvoisier. Courvoisier Initiale Extra has depths of complexity that put it beyond simply tasting. All senses must be engaged, with smell paramount. After pouring, pause for a minute or more to allow its full infusion with the air. Named La Minute Mystique by our Master Blender, this is when a magical blossoming of aromas takes place. Breathe then in through your nose and mouth. Continue savoring them as you let the first precious drops burst flavorfully upon your tongue... Then take an aroma journey... of warm sipced fruitcake... Do aromas trigger memories? Close your eyes, inhale, and follow your heart... Picture a low ceiling oak-beamed kitchen, warm, humid and alive with cooking and laughter... brimming with the seductive aroma of rich hot fruitcake... a tray fresh from the mighty iron oven steaming with luscious vapors of exquisitely delicate truffle. Can an aroma take you to a place? Imagine the scent of a damp autumnal forest as a fresh day breaks, shafts of sunlight streaming through a spectrum of brown and orange leaves... spongy ground under foot holds footprints in the glistening moss... each step raises a flurry of moist leaves. Inhale deeply and forage for the rare aroma of delicate truffle of fine old port wine imbued with rare rancio. Port is a huge character with so much to say... It speaks of history and riches and monumental moments... Remember that crystal glass after a banquet? Infusing your senses with aged fruits, it laid a cloak of time over you that held echoes of gold rancio flavors born in oak on fiercely hot sunny days.
