We received an bottle from a reader we already reviewed before, the Courvoisier Napoleon! this time the bottle got an awesome story! The bottle was a present from the Shah of Iran (Mohammad Rezā Shāh Pahlavī) in the early 1970′s  from his private cellar. Awesome story isn’t?

Imagine opening a bottle of cognac that is as old as 30, 40 or hundred years old. That’s the joy of cognac. Every cognac bottle you hold is a piece of history, a history that is both rich in culture and quality.
Today there are many cognac houses, some are small and get less exposure whereas some have become household names among cognac lovers. It is important to take time and reflect into the early years.

A reader has submitted a Vintage bottle of Courvoisier VSOP Fine Champagne Cognac, to know more about it.
Do you also want to know more about an old or rare Cognac bottle, its value, or would like to sell it? Submit your bottle!

Courvoisier has just announced the partnership between Shaq and their new product C by Courvoisier.
C by Courvoisier is the newest member to the Courvoisier family, and it’s about to put a whole new spin on the cognac you’re used to. It’s doubled aged and produced in small batches.

Courvoisier just launched a totally new product, called C by Courvoisier!
C by Courvoisier offers an innovative, new option in the cognac category. It’s a intense blend of small-batch-produced cognac specially selected from 50 winegrowers in the Fins Bois Cru and goes through a double-barrel aging process to produce a smooth, full-bodied taste experience.

The original bottle of L’Essence de Courvoisier was released back in 2009.  Offering an blend of over 100 rare eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne and Borderies cognac crus
Now Courvoisier brings out a Special Edition Cognac to celebrate the Chinese Year of the Dragon, limited to 500 decanters.

It tastes great on the rocks, or neat on a cool night, but the Courvoisier Rosé is especially made to mix it in cocktails!
Therefore we publish a nice Cocktail made with Champagne for the ladies in advance to the new year!

After tasted almost all accessible Courvoisier Cognacs, I needed to taste the well known Napoleon as well!
This Napoleon differs from the Courvoisier XO, because it uses Fine Champagne Cognacs, which means that at least 50% of the cognac comes from the Grande Champagne region, the rest needs to be from the Petite Champagne region.

A reader asked me to tell some information about a Gold Courvoisier Napoleon, does anyone have more information about is?
She asked: Would like to know age & value of bottle in gold & black.

Courvoisier is updating packaging across its portfolio, adding a more modern look and aiming to enhance the sense of luxury around the products.
