Courvoisier Cognac was founded in 1843, by Felix Courvoisier in the town of Jarnac. Courvoisier has hundreds of years of heritage; it was the official supplier to the Imperial Courts and is known as the Cognac of Napoleon. Courvoisier takes enormous pride and care in the creation of its cognac, achieving the very best standards at every stage - from the selection of the grapes, the distillation, the blending of the liquids and the crafting of the barrels, which hold the ageing cognac.
