Showing bright topaz in the glass, this Cognac entices with rich, concentrated caramel and toffee aromas. Fleetingly sweet on the palate, vanilla, mocha and hazelnut lead into a rounded brown-sugar finish punctuated by clove and orange peel. This easy sipper would be welcome at any dessert table. Made with a blend of Cognacs aged 11–25 years.
With the fires of the French Revolution still smouldering, and a country in recovery from the greatest and bloodiest political upheaval in its history, France's first Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, took the Imperial throne. In this uncertain climate, Emmanuel Courvoisier, our founder, and Louis Gallois, the mayor of Bercy, decided to open a wine and spirit company on the outskirts of Paris, just north of the river Seine.
Throughout the 1980s, we initiated a range of innovative changes to create an even finer, richer cognac, including micro-distillation, buying and ageing our own French oak and upright barrel storage, which improved the regularity of the wood extract and created more balanced aromas in our cognacs. This once again reinforces our position as the most forward-thinking and revolutionary of the main cognac houses.
Since its creation in 1809 Courvoisier has crafted cognacs to be rich and sophisticated to ignite the senses and give reason to celebrate. Inspired by innovation, ingenuity, and elegance, it is our joie de vivre that has put Courvoisier® at the heart of celebrations
