No it is not.
Edit: Well, not in the traditional sense it isn't. It elevates women and makes them justified objects of desire that the male must struggle to obtain, performing tasks and displaying obedience to her. The alternate, and more obviously mysogynistic interpretation could have easily been that women are flirtatious and lead men astray.
However, courtly love is also a male statement of what women SHOULD be. They should be beautiful, just, fair, and reward male pursuit with sex. Although courtly love disguises itself as empowerment of women over docile men, the women it features are often unattainable ideals from a male perspective.
That's just one way of looking at it.
