Grand Marnier Rouge

General Information

Grand Marnier Rouge, officially known as Cordon Rouge, is a world-famous French liqueur based on cognac and orange. This classic blend was first developed in 1880 by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle and has since become an icon in the world of luxury liqueurs.

The liqueur is made with fine French cognac as a base, combined with the essence of bitter orange peels from Citrus Bigaradia. After distillation, the mixture is aged in oak barrels, which ensures a harmonious balance between fruity freshness and warm depth.
