Courvoisier VS Cognac is a refined expression from one of France’s most historic houses, founded in 1809 and celebrated as “The Cognac of Napoleon.” Crafted in Jarnac, in the heart of the Cognac region, Courvoisier VS (Very Special) is made from a blend of eaux-de-vie sourced primarily from the Fins Bois and Petite Champagne crus. Each component is distilled in traditional copper pot stills and aged for a minimum of two years in French oak, creating a young yet elegant cognac that reflects both heritage and craftsmanship.
With its balance of fresh fruit, gentle oak, and subtle floral notes, Courvoisier VS is approachable yet complex, making it versatile enough to sip neat, serve over ice, or mix into classic cocktails like the Sidecar or French Connection. Presented in Courvoisier’s iconic curved bottle, it symbolizes both tradition and prestige while remaining one of the most accessible entries into the world of fine cognac. For enthusiasts and newcomers alike, Courvoisier VS offers an authentic taste of French artistry and a gateway into the house’s distinguished portfolio.

Tasting Notes
Courvoisier VS Cognac is approachable, vibrant, and well-balanced, showcasing the house style of elegance and finesse. On the nose, it opens with lively aromas of fresh fruit—apple, pear, and citrus—layered with subtle floral notes and a hint of oak. The palate is smooth and youthful, offering flavors of ripe fruit, vanilla, and a touch of almond, supported by gentle spice. The finish is clean and refined, with lingering fruitiness and soft oak that highlight its delicate structure.
Food Pairings
This VS Cognac pairs beautifully with light starters such as foie gras, smoked salmon, or charcuterie, where its fruit and floral tones lift savory richness. It complements soft cheeses like brie or camembert, enhancing their creaminess with fresh fruit character. For main courses, it works well with roast chicken, duck glazed with citrus, or pork tenderloin. On the sweeter side, it harmonizes with fruit tarts, poached pears, crème brûlée, or chocolate mousse, where its balance of fruit and oak rounds out the flavors. It also shines as an after-dinner pour with roasted nuts or almond pastries.
