Cognac house Maison Courvoisier has emerged from a multi-year restoration project. The revamp, completed in collaboration with French architecture and interior design agency Gilles & Boissier as well as local and international artists and artisans, underscores Courvoisier’s commitment to reignite Cognac on the global stage; a reflection of the brand’s “Joie de Vivre” and a warm and welcoming destination for guests.
Maison Courvoisier, originally built in 1857 along the Charente River in Jarnac, France, now boasts a stylish red bar lounge, curated by historian Isabelle Vignon, and a Cognac tasting room with artwork by François Houtin. The dining room, with a palissandro marble table and carved wood panels by Zoé Ouvrier, serves as the centerpiece for exclusive pairing dinners. Gilles & Boissier’s design subtly reflects Cognac’s aging process, with hand-painted walls transitioning from bright hues to deep amber tones.
“Our legacy is built on rare, exceptional Cognacs maturing in our cellars,” said Maison Courvoisier’s Master Blender Thibaut Hontanx. “The recent restoration provides a perfect backdrop that complements the distinctive character of our blends, much like the Maison itself.”
