The origin of our history goes back to the beginning of the 19th century with Emmanuel Courvoisier and his associate, Louis Gallois, running a wine and spirit merchant company, in the Parisian suburb of Bercy. In 1811 Napoleon visited their warehouses in Bercy and he was hosted by Louis Gallois, the Mayor, and Emmanuel Courvoisier. Legend has it that Napoleon I later took several barrels of cognac with him to St Helena, a treat much appreciated by the English officers on the ship who named it “The Cognac of Napoleon.”
Perfect harmony and balance of aromas Aroma is everything for cognac. The character of each individual note is shaped by its terroir, grape, cask and years of maturation. This is why Courvoisier takes great care to nurture every possible aroma at every possible stage of the cognac-making process. In recognition of this quality Courvoisier is consistently awarded in numerous spirits competition (IWSC and San Francisco spirits competition)
FRESH OAKINESS
Testament to the fine French oak of our casks and our coopers’ skilful artistry, but carefully controlled to make sure it doesn’t dominate the fruity and floral aromas.
SPRING FLOWERS
The hallmark of selected grapes harvested at their peak by our expert wine growers. These highly aromatic grapes mature quickly and produce a very smooth cognac.
RIPE FRUITS
The distillation in our smaller 25 hectolitre Alambic pot stills produces luscious notes of fresh grapes, pear, lemon, orange and other ripe fruits, the signature aromas of Courvoisier VS.
