Paul Bocuse Napoléon Cognac

Paul Bocuse Napoléon Cognac: an Elegant Showpiece

The Paul Bocuse Napoléon Cognac is a Fine Champagne blend, meaning that it contains a minimum of 50% Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie, with the rest coming from Petite Champagne. Boasting a ‘Napoléon’ age specification, this will have been aged for at least 10 years, but is likely to have an average age around 20. The blend of Champagne terroirs, along with the extended maturation process in French oak, has created a richly-hued Cognac with timeless elegance.

Part of the H Mounier company, Cognac Paul Bocuse was created as a partnership between the esteemed House of Mounier and the celebrated French chef, Paul Bocuse. Using quality eaux-de-vie from both Grande and Petite Champagne, these bottles are somewhat rare today. The late Paul Bocuse was a champion of nouvelle cuisine, a style of French cooking that focused on high-quality fresh ingredients and stunning presentation. In his lifetime, Bocuse was honored with awards like the Légion d'honneur and was named ‘Chef of the Century’ by The Culinary Institute of America. Many of his recipes featured his country’s most famous spirit, so it’s hardly surprising that such a great gourmand would want to adorn a bottle of Cognac with his own name.

Presentation of the Bottle

Featuring a classic shape, the bottle has a wide base gently curving into a tall, slim neck. A monogram and a dark green label adorn the bottle, which is accompanied by a matching gift box.

How to Enjoy Paul Bocuse Napoléon Cognac

The Cognac is best enjoyed as a digestive or in a snifter glass for those who want to have a more traditional tasting. We suggest you enjoy it neat, alongside fine cheeses or even some dark chocolate.
