1811 Vintage Cognac, 200 anniversary, 200 year old wine, 200th anniversary

1811 Cognac:

The ultimate cognac.

Perhaps one of the rarest finds, this bottle represents an important time in history. It was not only the year that the town of Cognac received Napoleon, but also the year that his second wife, Marie Louise gave birth to his son. The following year, Napoleon began his disastrous campaign against Russia, amassing a vast army of 500,000 infantry, 100,000 cavalry and 80,000 in the baggage trains. plus other contingents from all over Napoleon's world.

It is hard to believe that a cognac that was made in honour of Napoleon, while he was still alive and which he almost certainly tasted, is still available to purchase and drink.

Cognac Napoleon, Grande Fine Champagne Reserve 1811 (believed 70cl)

Condition, Please see Large Image. Level 5 cms from the cork. Label complete and all details legible with some very small nicks. The wax capsule is still intact, though there is a little (historical) damage on the top with a small amount missing. Absolutely no signs of seepage and in our view, this is a stunning example.
