Courvoisier Erté Collection. La Part Des Anges Jarnacaise Special Edition Cognac. 70cl. 40%. In presentation box.
An incredibly rare Jarnacaise bottle of Courvoisier Erté - La Part Des Anges cognac. This bottling was a special edition commemorating the launch of the seventh decanter in the limited edition Courvoisier Erté Collection. La Part des Anges was produced in 1994 and was originally planned to be the final bottling of the Courvoisier Erté Collection, but the success of the series led to an eighth bottling (Inédit) the following year.
This Jarnacaise edition of Courvoisier Erté - La Part Des Anges is screenprinted with a detail from Erté’s design for La Part des Anges and was never for sale to the public. The bottle was produced for use at launch events, and the remaining stock was gifted to VIPs in early 1995.
This is one of a handful of Jarnacaise editions of Courvoisier Erté produced in the early 1990s towards the end of the series and it’s likely that only a couple of hundred bottles of each were ever made.
Courvoisier’s original text for this bottle includes the following info:
“This special edition Jarnacaise bottle (not for sale) commemorates the launch of the seventh and final decanter in the limited edition Courvoisier Collection Erté. Called "La Part des Anges" (the angel's share) it continues an artistic pilgrimage by Erté, the master of Art Deco, which celebrates the creation of fine cognac from grapes of the Charente region. It contains the same rare blend of selected Grande Champagne cognacs, some dating back to 1892, the year of Erté’s birth.
La Part des Anges is Erté’s artistic interpretation of a heavenly reception for the glorious essence which evaporates from casks of ageing cognac. He celebrates this mystical assimilation by depicting joyous angels welcoming the ascending perfume, which is symbolised by a graceful woman, into paradise.”
In 1828 Félix Courvoisier and Jules Gallois merged the cognac production and wine & spirits businesses founded by their fathers Emmanuel and Louis a few decades earlier and established the Courvoisier cognac house in Jarnac, where they built a large chateau that still serves as the brand’s headquarters today. Courvoisier received the Imperial seal from Napoleon III in 1869, and the company was purchased in 1909 by Simons Freres, a pair of Anglo-French brothers who styled Courvoisier ‘The Brandy of Napoleon’.
The Courvoisier chateau was occupied during WWII by the Nazis, who used it as a casino. Courvoisier’s famous dumpy, slender-necked ‘Josephine’ bottle was first introduced in 1951 and in 1964 the company was bought by drinks multinational Hiram Walker, which subsequently became part of Allied Domecq. Jim Beam’s owner Fortune Brands acquired Courvoisier during Pernod’s dismantling of Allied in 2005 and today the company is part of Beam Suntory.
