Born on the streets of Paris, Courvoisier®lives by a code—one of dedication, vision and respect for tradition, cultivated over 200 years of history as France’s premium producer of Cognac. Courvoisier has the conviction to craft only the finest Cognac by honoring a visionary code of controlling the entire cognac production process from grape to glass. The way the brand has chosen to live and evolve has shaped its newest campaign – Honor Your Code
These values have forged a partnership between Courvoisier and rapper, actor, model and fashion icon, A$AP Rocky, who joins the family as Brand Ambassador starring in print and digital creative, partnering on collaborations and hosting exclusive experiences as part of its new campaign.
Before he became known as A$AP Rocky,Rakim Mayers cultivated his code growing up in New York by committing to being ambitious, inspiring and enticing. His vision was always to recognize growth and to be better than he was yesterday. With his promise to always strive, always prosper and to persevere through any struggle, A$AP Rocky honors his code to this day with his drive and ambition.
“I think your code is equivalent to your standards and your morals. It’s whatever you believe in. And you should always stand by and honor what you believe in,” says A$AP Rocky. “Courvoisier’s commitment to quality, old-school production methods, design and art speaks to me.”
Like A$AP Rocky, Courvoisier is focused on making—not just making it. FoundersLouis Gallois and Emmanuel Courvoisierset out to make a superior Cognac in the 18th century, not to become the toast ofParis society and the imperial court. But by focusing on creating, that’s what happened. The house eventually established residence in a chateau on the scenic banks of the Charente River in the town of Jarnac, just east of the town of Cognac, where Courvoisier’s grape to glass code is followed to this day.
“As a creator, A$AP Rocky embodies the progressive ideals and bold artistry on which Courvoisier was founded, making him an ideal partner for the brand,” saysGary Ross, Vice President, Beam Suntory World Spirits.
Through the partnership with A$AP Rocky and an inspiring campaign, Courvoisier demonstrates the real-life applications for honoring your code. A legacy it validates every day. A legacy of excellence crystallized in a bottle.
