Courvoisier is amongst the four leading Cognac Houses in the world. Legend has it that the emperor Napoleon himself chose Courvoisier as his preferred cognac; therefore, Courvoisier is often referred to as “The Cognac of Napoleon”. The company dates back to 1828 and has since had its headquarters in the town of Jarnac. With prestigious bottles such as Courvoisier Napoleon or Josephine, the Cognac House is at the top of the luxury spirits market.
