Courvoisier
Courvoisier was founded in Jarnac in 1828 by Félix Courvoisier and Jules Gallois, and it remains one of the best-known names in Cognac. Its history is closely tied to Napoleon: the house says Napoleon Bonaparte visited the Courvoisier cellars in 1811, and in 1869 Courvoisier was named official supplier to Napoleon III’s Imperial Court, a distinction that helped establish its reputation well beyond France.
