Grand Marnier
The flagship Cordon Rouge blends cognac aged in Limousin oak with Caribbean bitter orange peels, delivering notes of orange zest, vanilla, and warm spices. Premium expressions include Cuvée 1880, crafted with XO cognac, and Louis-Alexandre, featuring cognac aged up to 25 years. Grand Marnier's production process involves macerating orange peels in neutral alcohol before blending with cognac and aging in oak vats. The brand has received numerous international awards and remains family-owned, maintaining traditional production methods at their Château de Bourg-Charente facility. Essential for Margaritas, Cosmopolitans, and French desserts, Grand Marnier offers versatility beyond traditional sipping.
