The Mizunara cognac story
Meticulous wood selection has been a hallmark of Maison Courvoisier since our founding in 1828, and Courvoisier Mizunara is no exception. The first collaboration between our Chief Blender Thibaut Hontanx and House of Suntory’s Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo, this remarkable 2023 blend is aged in casks made from the rare Japanese Mizunara oak tree and filled with Grand Champagne, Petite Champagne and Borderies aged in Mizunara Japanese oak barrels. A unique and exotic expression of our House Style, Cognac in Blossom, the Courvoisier Mizunara 2023 Blend takes cognac to a new and exquisite place.

MIZUNARA 2023 BOTTLE DESIGN
The elegance of the Mizunara 2023 Blend bottle allows the golden mahogany of the liquid to shine through. A gold metal cutout of the Mizunara tree is wrapped around both the bottle and the case, while at the neck of the bottle we find the signatures of the two Master Blenders who created this unique Edition of cognac.
How is Mizunara cognac made
This unique cognac, made from a blend of Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Borderies, is traditionally aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years. It is then moved to new Mizunara barrels for 28 months, revealing exotic aromas of an exceptionally harmonious and aromatic cognac.
