The origins of Cognac Otard can be traced back to the Vikings in 849 A.D. The marvelous chateau, depicted in the background, was purchased by Jean Baptiste Antoine Otard in 1796, and became the new home to his cognac trading firm, founded the year prior. At that time, the cognac was aged in the chateau’s humid cellars for a minimum of two years. As the bottom text indicates, Otard is the best: Pierrot has finally managed to woo the ever-distant Columbine with the beverage’s powers.
Imp. F. Champenois, Paris
literature: Boissons, 110; Pierrot, 37; PAI-LXXXVII, 165
