THE HOUSE
OF COURVOISIER
With its history intertwined with the rise
of the Cognac regions, the House of
Courvoisier traces its roots back hun-
dreds of years in the production of fine
spirits. In the early 19th century,
Emmanuel Courvoisier formed a partner-
ship with Louis Gallois.
Courvoisier enjoyed associations with
many of the field marshals of the
Empire, and became connected to the
Imperial Court, with the honour of sup-
plying the Emperor Napoleon with
cognac. In 1811, Napoleon himself visit-
ed the Courvoisier warehouse in Paris. In
1869, Courvoisier was named ‘Purveyor
by special appointment to the Court of
Napoleon III’. To this day, a museum cel-
ebrating Courvoisier's ties to Napoleon
is maintained in the Chateau Courvoisier.
The care, dedication and skill that first
captured the Emperor's favour continues
to be enjoyed today, in the remarkable
cognacs of Courvoisier.
A wide range of Courvoisier cognac is
available in the Duty Free Stores at
Keflavík International Airport.
