Description
Back in 1827 Jean Baptiste Lapostolle, a distiller of fine fruit liqueurs, built what would become Grand Marnier’s first distillery in Neauphle-le-Château, a small city outside of Paris. In 1876, Julia, the granddaughter of Jean Baptiste Lapostolle, married Louis-Alexandre Marnier. La Maison Marnier Lapostolle commenced.
In 1880 Louis-Alexandre came with the idea to combine refined French cognac with a rare variety of bitter orange from Haiti in the Caribbean.When Louis-Alexandre created his recipe, he named it Curaçao Marnier but César Ritz suggested to change the name into ‘Grand Marnier’ and history was written.
