Alexandre Leopold Cognac XO

Behind the faded label and heavy glass stopper, this bottle carries a piece of another era. It's a Rémy Martin V.S.O.P., bottled long before the house's current packaging came to define its shelf presence – a small window into the story of Cognac's most famous export.

Expert Description

Rémy Martin V.S.O.P. is a French Cognac bottled in the 1980s on French oak casks at 40%. The bottle belongs to the Fine Champagne Cognac category, meaning it's distilled exclusively from grapes grown in Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne – the two finest crus in the Cognac region.

The label carries the German text "Französisches Erzeugnis," suggesting this particular bottle was originally destined for the German export market. Its dark, oval neck label and gold lettering are typical of Rémy Martin's packaging before the house modernized its look.

The cognac is a blend of eaux-de-vie, composed by the cellar master from Limousin oak casks of varying ages. Unlike whisky, cognac doesn't continue developing once bottled, so the character inside is essentially unchanged since the day it was filled.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Vanilla, ripe apricot and a touch of baked apple, with a little more patina than a newer bottling.

Palate

Rounded and layered, with stone fruit, a hint of liquorice and warm oak spice.

Finish

Soft and long, with toasted nuts and a last trace of vanilla.

Specifications

Name: Rémy Martin V.S.O.P.
Distillery: Rémy Martin
Region/Country: France, Cognac (Fine Champagne)
Type: Cognac
ABV: 40%
Size: 70 CL
Cask Type: French Limousin oak casks
Distillation Method: Double distilled in traditional copper pot stills
Bottled: 1980s

Flavour Profile

Fruity · Vanilla-sweet · Oak-aged · Smooth

Investment Potential

Medium. This is a discontinued bottling with an older label design that's sought after by collectors, and since cognac doesn't evolve further in the bottle, the contents remain stable regardless of age. Value depends heavily on fill level and label condition, though.

Did You Know?

The German text on the label is a small clue to this bottle's journey – many Rémy Martin bottles from this era were filled specifically for export markets like Germany, with local language requirements printed directly onto the French label.

Cognac VS de Pradiere

There's something about an old bottle that no new one can fake. This one has travelled from Jarnac to Hamburg and on into a Danish collection, and the label still carries the fading and creases of decades spent being held up to the light.

Expert description

Courvoisier Luxe Cognac is a French Cognac from Jarnac in the heart of the Cognac region, bottled at 40%. This "Luxe" 3 Star bottling dates from an era when Courvoisier still marketed itself under the royal warrant "By Appointment to the Late King George VI" – a reference to the British court that the house was permitted to carry in its branding for decades. The bottle was imported into Germany by Charles Hosie in Hamburg, a detail that tells its own story about the Cognac's journey from the French cellars out into Europe. Courvoisier is one of the so-called big four Cognac houses and has, since its founding in 1809, cultivated a soft and approachable style that sets it apart from some of the more angular, powerful houses in the region. The Cognac is blended from several crus around Jarnac and matured in French oak casks in the house's own cellars, which gives it the rounded, elegant profile the house is known for.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Ripe apples and plums meet a touch of dry oak spice, a combination often found in older Cognac-based bottlings.

Palate

Round and soft, with stone fruit sweetness balanced by a light, spiced oak warmth.

Finish

Mild and elegant, without sharp edges – a finish that matches the house's well-known, approachable style.

Specifications

Region/Country: France, Jarnac

Flavour Profile

Fruity · Soft · Elegant · Oak-Spiced

Investment Potential

High. This is a discontinued vintage bottling carrying the historic royal warrant along with a clear import provenance, both of which appeal to collectors of old Cognac bottlings. Comparable Courvoisier Luxe 3 Star bottles from the same era are trading today well above what a modern standard bottle would cost, and interest in vintage Cognac with this kind of historic labelling has been growing among collectors.

Did You Know?

Courvoisier is the only one of the big four Cognac houses ever officially permitted to use the imperial "N" in its marketing – a legacy of the brand's supposed connection to Napoleon Bonaparte, who is said to have taken the Cognac with him into exile.

Please note: This bottle is sold as a collector's item. The quality of the contents cannot be guaranteed, and the bottle itself may show scuffs and scratches – see the photo.
