Distillery Info
As legend has it, in 1811, our cognac reached French Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte who made a personal visit to the Courvoisier cellar after enjoying what he tasted.
Many years after this initial meeting, Napoléon III, nephew and heir to Napoléon Bonaparte, also personally requested Courvoisier and awarded the Maison Courvoisier the much sought-after title of Fournisseur Officiel de la Maison de l'Empereur, or the official supplier of Napoléon's Imperial Court in 1869. Because of Napoléon's stamp of approval, Courvoisier became beloved throughout Europe and was served at notable historic joyous occasions and graced the tables of many royal courts.
XO pays homage to the Cognac region with carefully selected eaux-de-vie. The signature style of rich fruit notes reveals an exquisitely layered blend with an elegant floral finish.
