A. de Fussigny was founded in 1814 and is the only producer with an operating distillery in the historical center of the town of Cognac. With deep roots and abiding tradition, A. de Fussigny Cognacs embody the traditional standards for high quality and innovation. Fussigny Cognacs have a complex taste and aroma that capture the terroir of the vineyards, distillation and aging in the heart of Cognac, France. AOC made from a blend of eaux-de-vie of Petite and Grande Champagne, consisting of at least 50% of Grande Champagne. Traditional distillation method on the lees (natural sediment after wine fermentation) allows the cognac to develop richer aromatic notes. Fussigny's historic cellar located on the banks of the Charentes River has the perfect humidity which brings out the aromas of the cognac and creates a rounder, more subtle taste. The cognacs used to make Fussigny Selection are aged an average of 8 years resulting in a subtle and elegant character with notes of vanilla, flower, spices and pepper.

Floral jasmin aromas mingled with suble, mellow notes of yellow fruit and a few paler touches of oak and vanilla.

This gift set includes Camus XO Elegance with Two Crystal Glasses This cognac is a blend of venerable eaux-de-vie from exceptional vineyards, with a distinct aromatic presence from the Borderies growing area. A unique bouquet of floral aromas, on the palate: hints of vanilla, crystallised fruits, citrus and liquorice, all culminating in a persistent, leathery finish. A richly flavoured and smooth, mildly oaked cognac.

With such a harmonious symphony of aromas, Courvoisier Napoleon Fine Champagne deserves to be savoured neat, its complex finish allowing it to linger lovingly in the mouth. Conventional wisdom says that cognac should be enjoyed in a Snifter glass but the best way to savour its rich aromas is to use a tulip cognac glass, because its shape ensures the deep and rich aromas dominate, rather than being overpowered by the alcohol. Try nosing a small serve in both a balloon and tulip glass - you will quickly notice the difference. FOOD PAIRINGS: The aromas and flavours of Courvoisier Napoleon Fine Champagne can be perfectly paired with a strong hard cheese, like parmesan, or slightly sweeter cheeses, like Beaufort or Gruyere. SANDALWOOD: This rich and soft aroma comes from the natural contact between our cognac and its French oak cask. Over time this softens from a distinct oaky aroma to become more complex and delicate. DRIED APRICOT: Our insistence on double distilling using the lees, the yeast residue, imparts even greater depth, complexity and sublime notes to our Courvoisier Napoleon Fine Champagne cognac that best resemble the sharply sweet aroma of dried apricot. MUSHROOM: Unsurprisingly, this aroma is clearly traced from the perfectly humid conditions of our earth-floored warehouses where our eaux-de-vie ages.
