The story behind it
The maker
Founded by Louis-Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle in Neauphle-le-Château, France, the brand revolutionized the spirits world by blending cognac with rare Caribbean bitter oranges. The signature wax seal and red ribbon of Cordon Rouge have remained symbol of French elegance and artisanal craftsmanship for over a century.
How it is made
Crafted from a secret recipe first created in 1880, Grand Marnier blends noble French cognacs with exotic Citrus Bigaradia oranges. Slowly aged in French oak casks, this meticulously balanced spirit achieves a rare depth and structure unmatched by standard orange liqueurs.
From Cognac, France
