GRAND MARNIER history & heritage
Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle had the audacious idea to create something avant-garde, a blend sophisticated and unique. A liqueur that would captivate the world for over six generations. Discover the Grand Marnier history.
DISTILL THE HISTORY
The Grand Marnier origins began almost two centuries ago, when Jean Baptiste Lapostolle built a high quality fruit liqueurs distillery in Neauphle-le-Château, a small city outside of Paris. Quickly his original distillery gained an outstanding reputation.
Pourquoi les joueurs de casino aiment les bars
Vous avez probablement entendu dire que les joueurs de casino en ligne aiment se retrouver au bar d’un casino. Mais pourquoi ? Eh bien, tout commence par les jeux auxquels ils jouent. Mais vous pouvez également trouver beaucoup d’autres options de divertissement dans le bar d’un casino. Ce peut être un endroit agréable pour se détendre après une dure journée de travail. Voici quelques raisons qui rendent le bar d’un casino si attrayant pour les joueurs de casino. Nous espérons que cet article vous donnera quelques idées sur la façon de tirer le meilleur parti de votre expérience au bar.
La stratégie marketing d’un casino doit attirer l’attention sur les meilleurs aspects de la première impression. Cela peut se faire par le biais de panneaux d’affichage et de publicités sur les médias sociaux qui évoquent les souvenirs d’un grand concert ou d’amis proches portant un toast à une future mariée. Un casino doit offrir une expérience unique à ses clients et leur procurer divertissement et amusement. Une publicité qui évoque une émotion est plus efficace que celle qui cherche simplement à attirer l’attention du public.
PARIS CITY OF LOVE
Julia, granddaughter of Jean Baptiste Lapostolle, married Louis-Alexandre Marnier. The Marnier family were wine merchants who distributed Lapostolle’s products. With the union of Julia and Louis-Alexandre, whose love story unfolded only fifteen miles to the east of Paris, La Maison Marnier Lapostolle was born.
THE CREATION OF A MYTH
Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle had the audacious idea to combine cognac with a rare variety of oranges from the Caribbean. The idea of blending them was simply avant-garde. This was the beginning of Grand Marnier orange and cognac liqueur, whose recipe has remained unchanged ever since.
THE NAME SAYS IT ALL
When Louis-Alexandre created his recipe, he named it Curaçao Marnier. César Ritz, his loyal friend and legendary founder of the Ritz Hotel, suggested a new name. At the time, the fashion in Paris was for everything to be “petit”. So he came up with the name “Grand Marnier”: “A grand name for a grand liqueur!”
A VERY SOPHISTICATED DESIGN
Louis-Alexandre trademarked a new iconic bottle shape, inspired by the silhouette of a traditional cognac still and designed by the crystal specialists at Baccarat, the finest maker of crystal glassware in France. But he also adopted the wax seal and the ribbon, first in yellow and then in the iconic red. These elements became the signature of Cordon Rouge, still used today. The French touch is in the appearance too.
IN THE HEART OF ART NOUVEAU
At the end of the 19th century, Paris was in the heart of what was called “la Belle Epoque”: within three decades the Eiffel Tower, the Métro, and the Opera were built. And the first public projection of a motion picture took place. During these great times, Grand Marnier became with its unique blend an absolute protagonist.
THE SPECIAL EDITIONS
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the House of Marnier-Lapostolle, in 1927 a special cuvée was created in very limited quantities: Grand Marnier Cuvée du Centenaire, exceptionally composed by extra old Cognacs from the best crus. For the occasion some of the finest artists created original designs for the famous bottle. These were the first Limited Edition Bottles.
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC
In 1969, Joe Gilmore, the renowned head of bartenders at the American Bar at The Savoy, London, created the Moonwalk cocktail using Grand Marnier to celebrate the first steps on the moon. That was just the beginning. The company started major exports in 1970, mainly to the U.S. and the Grand Margarita became a big success in the 1980s. A new era for cocktails had definitely begun.
