Description
The Andre Petit Napoleon: Aged for 15 years
The André Petit Napoléon Cognac certainly makes a statement. The electric blue label perfectly contrasts its amber liquid within, and sets it apart from the rest - and with good reason. It has been aged for 15 years in oak casks..
Jacques Petit explains how the eaux-de-vie spends part of the aging process in newer casks. They are then transferred to older casks, where the flavors and aromas develop to give them a delectable roundness. Notes of chocolate, vanilla dance across the palate, with a Cognac that is perfectly balanced - and has been aged for a very long time indeed. This Cognac has been produced following very old methods.
The grapes are harvested by hand and distilled following the teachings of his grandparents. In the distillation, they do not use any machines to separate alcohol - they trust their noses alone. This family producer are wine growers who develop a Cognac with a pronounced style following their feelings and tastes.
Serving Suggestions
This Cognac should be enjoyed neat, at room temperature and sipped slowly from a tulip glass.

The Fruit-Bomb Napoleon Cognac With No Scent of Alcohol - The Real Deal

Neither my four friends nor I could smell any alcohol at all. After sitting around 7-10 minutes in glass aromas of candied dried fruits are...
André Petit Napoleon Collector Cognac
I had big expectations for this cognac due to tasting reviews because one of my favorites in palate is chocolate notes. Nose: At first it was light but as time passed aroma started to fill the entire room. Combination of chocolate and vanilla was whispering the ear "take a sip". Palate: Very rich...
J'aime beaucoup!
I'm just a beginner who's looking for a cognac easy to drink and this one hit the spot. Smooth but there's a little bit bitterness but less alcohol burn which is the one i'm looking for a cognac. Thanks for the review Kate. Good job Andre Petit and Cognac-expert for your excellent service.
Paired with chocolate banana bread!
My best friend, my dad and I paired this Napoléon with a decadent chocolate banana bread for my birthday a few nights ago. We let it aerate, and there was virtually no burn - just a soft roundness that went on and on. We got excited after the first or second nose, and we weren't disappointed. The...
