In 1828, the sons of the founders, Felix Courvoisier and Jules Gallois decided to make a bold move and take the business elsewhere. With intuitive understanding of what their customers desired, the knew business had to change. They wanted more control over the quality of the brandy they had built their reputation on, so moved their headquarters from Paris to the sleepy town of Jarnac, in the heart of the Cognac region. It remainsthe home of Courvoisier to this very day. When Felix Courvoisier died without a male heir in 1866, he left the management of the business to his two nephews, the Curlier brothers, who had lived in Jarnac their entire lives. They built up good trade relations with the UK, where cognac was highly prized, our existing records showing that only Courvoisier was transported in large quantities on board ships called simply 'Liverpool' and 'Jarnac'. Courvoisier was selected as the spirit of choice to celebrate the opening of the Eiffel Tower on March 31, 1889. A 2016 marketing campaign, “Toast of Paris,” paid homage to this milestone in the brand’s history by launching new bottlings inspired by France’s Belle Époque. Ironically, the French Hardly Drink It Cognac in general is usually served either after dinner, with rich foods or all in it’s own, and it’s the latter I’d go for.

Courvoisier's reputation continued to grow, and by 1869, their cognac gracing the tables of the Royal Courts of Denmark, England and Sweden. Closer to home, Napoleon III, the nephew and heir to Napoleon Bonaparte, also personally requested Courvoisier, conferring on us the much sought-after title of 'Fournisseur de la Cour Impériale', or official supplier to the Imperial Court. When the Eiffel Tower's Grand opening at the World;s Fair in Paris was held in 1889, Courvoisier was the official drink of the event, and won the ultimate international prize of its day, the Medaille d'Or.

The Cognac Is Anointed With Napoleon’s Approval You can go 1.5 parts Courvoisier to 1 part Amaretto and have yourself a French Connection, or 2 parts Courvoisier to 1 part Cointreau and lemon juice (to taste) for a sidecar. Fifty years after Napoleon Bonaparte’s historic approval of Courvoisier, Napoleon III deemed the cognac the Official Supplier of the House of the Emperor. By this point, Maison Courvoisier was helmed by Félix and Jules Curlier, nephews of Félix Courvoisier who inherited the company from their uncle in 1866. The French Celebrated the Eiffel Tower’s Opening With Courvoisier That’s me being sarcastic but in all honesty that’s actually the best way to go. No need for mixers, no need for ice. If you want to get technical, hold the glass in the palm of your hand to heat the Courvoisier a little while drinking. Courvoisier is a member of the exclusive “ Big Four” club of cognac houses, where it’s joined by Hennessy, Martell, Rémy Martin. Founded in 1828, Courvoisier is the youngest of the group. It Started as a Wine Producer

And finally, on the question of which is better, Courvoisier VS or Courvoisier VSOP, Courvoisier VS is aged for two years. Courvoisier VSOP is aged for 4 years, which explains why it costs a tiny bit more. Most people – the brand included – see VSOP as better but you know what? Despite Courvoisier being French in origin, 97 percent of the cognac is exported, as of 2013. This aligns with general export trends of the cognac category, which is primarily an exported spirit finding particularly enthusiastic audiences in the U.S., China, and, more recently, Canada. It Has Rap to Thank for Its Popularity in the States
