COURVOISIER

What attracts me first? The shape of the bottle. Then curious of what's the taste of that cognac. Honestly made me think of how will I pronounce the name "COURVOISIER". Before asking my husband how to say it, I tried but I failed. He corrected me and informed me it's a French word.I'm glad they taught me the idea of how to read French words. Like that courvoisier cognac it's pronounce like this: kūr-vwah-zē-ā′

Courvoisier is a brand of cognac. The company is now based in the town of Jarnac in the Charente department. Although no evidence exists that Courvoisier cognac was the favorite drink of Napoleon Bonaparte, who died in 1821, before Courvoisier was officially established by Felix Courvoisier in 1835, the company website claims the following:
The origin of our history goes back to the beginning of the 19th century with Emmanuel Courvoisier and his associate, Louis Gallois, running a wine and spirit merchant company, in the Parisian suburb of Bercy. In 1811 Napoleon visited their warehouses in Bercy and he was hosted by Louis Gallois, the Mayor, and Emmanuel Courvoisier. Legend has it that Napoleon I later took several barrels of cognac with him to St Helena, a treat much appreciated by the English officers on the ship who named it 'The Cognac of Napoleon'
