This new Vsop expression joins the Cuve Collection, a lauded selection of the world's finest cognac-based liqueurs. Cuve Louis Alexandre is an ode to its creator, Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle, whose audacious and grand idea to blend a fine cognac with a rare, bitter orange liqueur disrupted the status quo more than a century ago. This avant-garde expression reflects a period of cultural exuberance â Paris was at the heart of La Belle â°poque, exemplified by the construction of the Eiffel Tower, the Paris Mtro, and the Palais Garnier.In this esteemed company was a new creation that quickly became en vogue in French society. During this rich and creative time, it was Louis-Alexandre who made Grand Marnier a high-class product and a must-have at all Parisian soires. His success in building Grand Marnier awarded him the "Legion d'Honneur" bestowed by the President of the Republic of France.The appeal and excellence of this exquisite creation was recognized by Louis-Alexandre's dear friend Csar Ritz, who suggested he give Grand Marnier its current name, stating it was "a Grand name for a Grand product." Ever since that defining moment, the vision to "Live Grand" was a driving force that guided Louis-Alexandre's life and continues to guide Grand Marnier's ethos today. To "Live Grand" centers on the journey of taking a good experience and transforming it into a Grand one.Created by Master Blender Patrick Raguenaud â President of the Professional National Cognac Bureau â Cuve Louis Alexandre is the newest way to raise a glass to living Grand.

I was inspired by his fearless drive to push boundaries and create something truly unique," said Raguenaud. "This expression is yet another intrepid creation from the House of Grand Marnier, ensuring we continue to twist tradition."A unique blend of refined V.s.o.p. cognac and Liqueur D 'Orange, the cognacs used in this premium Cuve come from the finest growing areas in the Cognac region and are carefully aged in Tron§ais and Limousin oak casks in Bourg-Charente.
