{"title":"Napoleon Cognacs","description":"\u003cp\u003eNapoléon is the cognac designation that most people overlook, and most connoisseurs quietly treasure. Sitting between the accessibility of V.S.O.P. and the gravitas of X.O., Napoléon-grade Cognac — aged a minimum of ten years — occupies a particularly compelling place on the table: old enough for genuine depth and integration, young enough to retain vivacity and lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Napoléon range is compact and considered. Paul Giraud's 15-year Grande Champagne expression is a house signature — richly textured, with the chalk-and-flower minerality that defines the premier cru. François Voyer's 15-year and Dudognon's 15-year both demonstrate how different estates can arrive at the same designation from entirely different directions: one precise and aromatic, the other broad-shouldered and warming. The Jean Fillioux 14-year and the two Grosperrin-selected expressions — a 12-year Petite Champagne bottled at cask strength, and a Paul Giraud 12-year — bring further range to a category that rewards exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who find X.O. sometimes too weighty for the occasion, Napoléon is frequently the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dudognon-cognac-napoleon-15yrs-42-700ml","title":"Dudognon Cognac Napoleon 15 years 42% 700ml","description":"Napoleon Dudognon Cognac is a full-bodied and persistent Cognac on the palate.
