After releasing Courvoisier 12 years aged and Courvoisier 21 years aged, Courvoisier now releases the Rose, a blend of signature Cognac and French red wine grapes.  At a very low alcohol percentage, 18.0%, the Courvoisier is designed to be a sweet, easy drinking liqueur.  Sipping more like a sweet wine than a strong Cognac, the Rose Courvoisier is designed to be market to the African American community as Rose wine has taken off in that demographic.  In fact, African Americans single handedly saved the Cognac industry when it became the trend to drink Cognac.  Not a bad move because we love us some Courvoisier.  Review coming soon.  A 750ml bottle of Courvoisier Rose has a suggested retail price of $24.99.
