Napoleon (quality level)

Wine offers for "Napoleon (quality level)" in find+buy

Quality designation or indication of the maturation period for spirits with a particularly long maturation period. In the case of cognac, this applies to products that are at least six years old, but can be up to 100 years old. The name was introduced by the Cognac house Courvoisier when the French Emperor Napoleon (1769-1821) abdicated in 1814 and wanted to emigrate to the USA. A special cognac was provided for him for this purpose. However, the name is also used by many producers of Armagnac and Calvados for their best products.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
