COGNAC 1795 AIGLE D’OR NAPOLÉON 5L
The family house of Leopold Brugerolle was supplying the Paris restaurant market in the 1850’s with bottles of mature cognac purchased from their contract growers, and marked with the vintage as an indication of their age. Much of the cognac from this period was requestioned by the French revolutionary army officers.
This hand-blown bottle, believed to be between 5 and 6 liters in size, is of excellent general appearance. Original labels (first started being used in the 1850s) showing the age of the wine, the bottle neck is covered with heavy wax capsule to keep the delicious, rich taste inside.This bottle was part of the Lloyd Flatt collection first sold by Christie’s in Chicago in 1990.
