Courvoisier Cognac Fine Champagne from 1841: A Vintage Brandy

This Cognac bottle is full and closed. On the top there´s a stamp: a coat of arms in the center and Courvoisier Cognac written around. In the neck there is a label: Grande Fine Champagne (end missing a bit) Napoléon and then, 1841 but, hand written.

Then there is in the glass a “N” with a crown on top, inside a circle. Then there is a label: By Appointment to the, a coat of arms, Late King George V.

In the big label: another coat of arms, Courvoisier, Fournisseur breveté de S. M. l’Empereur, The Brandy of Napoleon, Cognac, Grande Fine Champagne Napoléon, Appellation Controlée.  And again 1841 written by hand. There is no back label.

Doesn’t say how many ml, i think it’s 500ml. The bottom is turned to inside. I found the bottle clearing out an old house in the Black Forest in Germany, i don’t know if the date is true or if the bottle is a original vintage.

If you have any ideas about value or other information, please comment. Thank you.

Since the label mentiones Late King George V it must be dated between 1936 (when the King died) and 1951 when the new Josephine fat bottle was incorporated into Courvosier stock.

Yes,I would have to agree with Ben, I would say that it is not 1841 vintage. Courvosier would have printed
the vintage date. I don’t like the fact that someone
has wrtten the date ???
