Courvoisier VSOP Fine Champagne Cognac 1980sCognac 50cl 40% An old 500ml bottle of Courvoisier's VSOP Fine Champagne Cognac. This bottle is from the early to mid 1980s when the neck was shorter than the later Josephine bottles. These old VSOP cognacs from the 1980s are terrific value, particularly the Fine Champagne versions like this Courvoisier VSOP, which are made only with eaux de vie from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne regions.
