Courvoisier Cognac
The Courvoisier brand started life as a wine and spirits merchant in a Parisian suburb, with a specialisation in the supply of Cognac. Founder, Emmanuel Courvoisier, quickly established the best way to guarantee a continuous supply of quality Cognac was to produce it himself, so he upped sticks and relocated himself to the Cognac region and set about establishing the product we know today.
In the 1800’s trade was moved by boat and so the Courvoisier Château was built on the banks of the Charente river in the centre of Jarnac. I’ve had the privilege of staying at the beautiful chateau and enjoying a sampling session in the historic cellars, the cellars no longer store or age stocks as a significant downside of being based by the river was during floods the chateau would often see their prized stocks escaping and bobbing down the river, unsurprisingly none would ever be returned as lost property.
Legend has it, Napoleon’s favourite drink was Courvoisier and rumours suggest that he would take several barrels of their fine Cognac on his escapades. In 1869 Napoleon bestowed the title of “The Official Supplier to the Imperial Court” to Courvoisier and in return the brand use Napoleon in their branding. In 1951 Courvoisier created its iconic bottle with its long thick neck and wide base bottom which it named the Josephine bottle in honour of Napoleon’s first wife, not too sure it’s that much of a compliment though!
A question that is always asked, is Courvoisier a brandy or cognac. No simple answer as it is technically classed as both. As only wines produced in the Champagne region can be called Champagne, only brandies produced in the Cognac region can be called Cognac. So the quick answer is Courvoisier is a cognac.

Courvoisier has been the UK’s favourite Cognac for the past few decades by continually growing it three core products, Courvoisier VS, Courvoisier VSOP and Courvoisier XO.
