Courvoisier® Initiale
Extra® Cognac
Located in the heart of Jarnac, France, the House of Courvoisier creates its cognacs from the finest brandies distilled in the premiere crus, or growing regions. The brandies are then cellared in handmade Limousin and Tronçais oak barrels. Since aging is so crucial to achieving excellence, the experts at Courvoisier hand select which trees are to be used for the casks, seasoning the staves in the open air for 3 years before they are assembled into finished barrels.

Few cognacs better illustrate the Chateau’s artistry and centuries old expertise than COURVOISIER INITIALE EXTRA. It is a blend of rare, exceptionally old cognacs from the Grande Champagne and Borderies districts. The youngest brandy in the blend is over 50 years old, with some that have been aged for over a century.

The Initiale Extra is an unqualified masterpiece. The brandy has a voluminous bouquet redolent with the savory aromas of vanilla, citrus, cocoa and cinnamon. The palate
is full of nuances and fills the mouth with the sumptuous
flavors of almonds, fruit and baking spices. The finish is
long, relaxed and exquisitely flavorful.

Whether in a snifter at a quiet moment or in the middle of a
crowded dance floor, it is next to impossible to do anything
but thoroughly savor Courvoisier Initiale Extra.
