A COGNAC FIT FOR AN EMPEROR

As legend has it, in 1811, French Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte made a personal visit to the Courvoisier cellar after enjoying what he tasted.Many years after this initial meeting, Napoléon III also personally requested Courvoisier and awarded the Maison Courvoisier the much sought-after title of Fournisseur Officiel de la Maison de l'Empereur, or the official supplier of Napoléon's Imperial Court in 1869. Because of Napoléon's stamp of approval, Courvoisier became beloved throughout Europe and was served at notable historic joyous occasions and graced the tables of many royal courts.
