Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, created in 1880 by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle, combines the character of cognac with the intensity of bitter orange. This refined liqueur contains 40% ABV (51% cognac and 49% orange liqueur). Grand Marnier is an exceptional blend of fine cognac and exotic bitter orange liqueur, created by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle. Over six generations of art and craftsmanship are carefully overseen by the expertise of our Master Blender. Learn more about our French savoir faire. Cognac and orange spirit were carefully blended in Gaillon-Aubevoye, creating Grand Marnier's uniqueness. Here, the final product is poured into its iconic cognac-shaped bottle and finished with the famous red ribbon and wax seal as a symbol of authenticity and exceptional quality. Grand Marnier is the result of a long tradition of master blenders who have skillfully and carefully passed their savoir faire to one another since 1880. Continuing Louis-Alexandre’s legacy today, our Master Blender oversees the sourcing, aging and blending of our fine cognacs, as well as the production of our bitter orange essence.
