Courvoisier Napoléon Fine Champagne Cognac
Cognac
Courvoisier // Cognac, France
Napoléon Bonaparte, so the story goes, took several casks of Courvoisier for his exile on St. Helena.
This bottling was first released in 1910. Courvoisier is the first cognac house to use Napoléon on their labels as a way of stating it was older than their VSOP, but younger than their XO.
