The story behind it
The maker
Founded in 1828 by Emile Courvoisier and Louis Gallois in Bercy, Paris, the house of Courvoisier quickly earned a legendary reputation. Famously associated with Napoleon Bonaparte, who visited the warehouses in 1811, the brand remains one of the world's most historic and celebrated Cognac houses.
How it is made
Crafted from grapes grown in the finest crus of the Cognac region, this VSOP is aged in proprietary French oak barrels. The spirits are meticulously distilled and matured under the watchful eye of the master blender to ensure consistency and depth.
