Courvoisier proudly boast their Cognac as that of Napoleon. It all started when Napoleon took hundreds of bottles of Courvoisier Cognac for his years of exile. Napoleon told Emmanuel Courvoisier that whilst he could be given the Hennessy or the Cristal, or indeed the Remy, it was the Courvoisier he really wanted.

A delicate, smooth, floral Cognac made from grapes grown in the Grande and Petite Champagne regions. Aged in Limousin and Tronçais oak barrels, this ‘Very Special Old Pale' has hints of vanilla and almond from the oak. A subtle and elegant Champagne Cognac best appreciated on its own. Taste the Golden age of Paris with Courvoisier, Le Cognac de Napoleon.This skillfully crafted V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale) cognac is a blend of several crus with a perfect balance between Fins Bois, Grande and Petite Champagnes at the peak of their aromatic potential. A delicate bouquet and excellent balance of oak and exotic flavours. Grande and Petite Champagnes bring harmony while Fins Bois give a floral and fruity character. When the cognac is distilled and aged, it begins to conjure the soft, luscious aroma of ripe peach. After several years in our French fine-grained oak barrels, the spirit develops nutty notes and ages to produce a sweet, caramelized flavor resembling that of toasted almonds. The distillation on the lees is a complex and meticulous process but it gives fruity and musk notes, evoking jasmine aroma.
