cognac napoleon 1802 grande fine champagne

Not an expert, but...

Appears to be quite a bit of fake cognac with similar appearance. Suggest you check this page out as a beginning point:  http://www.baycountryliquors.com/fakes.htm

French word “officiel” (means “official”) has a typo and becomes “officel” on the label. All in all, this is worth close to nothing.

Grande Fine Champagne is not in English(as I first thought) but in French (pronounced "feen") and in France it refers to the marc de champagne which is a distillation of the wine rich in sediment which pops out of the champagne bottle when it is disgorged (one of the steps of the "méthode champénoise"). It is similar to the marc de bourgogne made from the skins and pips of the Pinot Noir grapes after vinification. This is presumably the reason why the label mentions the "Province de Champagne" since Cognac is made in the Charente and Charente-Maritime departments of France. The immediate give away is the addition of (FRANCE) on the label which will never appear on an authentic label as the country of origin is assumed by the name of the wine (or liquor). Virtually all marc de champagne (or fine) are produced today by Jean Goyard & Cie. in Ay but before 1940 a number of old champagne houses marketed a marc. I find no reference in any old directory to a Maison de Saint-Jacques in Reims,Épernay or Ay. Needless to say there is none in Cognac or Jarnac either.
