The story behind it

The maker

Founded in Paris by Emmanuel Courvoisier and Louis Gallois in 1809, the brand famously became the official supplier to the Imperial Court of Napoleon Bonaparte. Today, based in Jarnac, Courvoisier remains one of the world's historic Cognac houses, celebrated for its craftsmanship and elegant style.

How it is made

Distilled from selected Ugni Blanc grapes, this VS Cognac is crafted using traditional micro-distillation in small copper alembic stills. The eaux-de-vie are then aged in hand-selected French oak casks from the Limousin forest, developing its signature complexity.
