Maison Courvoisier, recognized as an award-winning Cognac House has reopened following a comprehensive multi-year restoration project "in collaboration with the architecture and interior design agency Gilles & Boissier, along with local and international artists and artisans; this reopening seeks to enhance Courvoisier's presence in the global market."
In addition to showcasing nearly 200 years of history and expertise, the Maison features designs that highlight the surrounding vineyards, terroir, and landscapes of the region—it is set to welcome guests beginning in October 2024. Notably, key areas include "a Bar Lounge curated by historian Isabelle Vignon and a Cognac Tasting Room showcasing artwork by François Houtin. Furthermore, the Dining Room, which features a Palissandro marble table and carved wood panels by Zoé Ouvrier, is intended for exclusive pairing dinners."
While access will be limited, tours and tastings will be available throughout the year, with exclusive overnight stays offered at select times.
