- Description
- This vintage VSOP from the 1970s captures Courvoisier's house character at a moment of maturation—typically four to ten years in French oak before bottling. The palate shows dried stone fruit, warm spice, and vanilla notes, with the 40% ABV allowing the spirit's underlying complexity to develop gradually. A snapshot of pre-modern Cognac bottling practices, suited to collectors and those interested in how the category has evolved.
