Decanters

Decanters play a significant role in the world of cognac, enhancing both presentation and appreciation of this luxurious spirit. Traditionally crafted from crystal or glass, they showcase cognac’s rich amber hues—think the deep gold of a Martell Cordon Bleu or the coppery glow of a Courvoisier XO—while allowing enthusiasts to pour with precision. Brands like D’USSÉ elevate the aesthetic with bold, cross-emblazoned designs, merging function with art. While cognac doesn’t require decanting for aeration like wine (its flavors are sealed during aging), transferring it from bottle to decanter can remove sediment in older vintages and signal a special occasion. For connoisseurs, it’s less about preservation—cognac’s high alcohol content ensures stability—and more about elevating the ritual of savoring a Réviseur or De Luze.
