One of the four leading cognac houses in the world is Courvoisier. Legend has it that Emperor Napoleon chose Courvoisier as his favourite cognac, which is why it is also known as the "Napoleon Cognac". The company has been around since 1828.
The Courvoisier VSOP is a blend of the Grande, Petite Champagne and Fins Bois varieties. The cognacs mature between 8 and 10 years. It is also known for its excellent price-performance ratio.
