Who is RÉMY COINTREAU ?

Rémy Cointreau is a French, family-owned Group whose origins date back to 1724. It is the result of the 1990 merger of holding companies owned by the Hériard Dubreuil and Cointreau families, which controlled E. Rémy Martin & Cie SA and Cointreau & Cie SA, respectively. The Group is also the result of successive partnerships with other companies active in the same wines and spirits business lines. Rémy Cointreau has a portfolio of exceptional spirits, of which the brands include: LOUIS XIII and Rémy Martin cognacs, the liqueur Cointreau, the Greek spirit METAXA, the French brandy St-Rémy, the single malts Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore, The Botanist gin, Westland Distillery American single malt, and Domaine des Hautes Glaces French organic single malt. Each of these brands embodies unique expertise and heritage, but all share the same culture of excellence. Our company values are Terroir, People and Time. A love of our terroirs and the mastery of time have always been at the heart of our expertise, and we believe it is up to each and every one of us to bring this link to life, connecting land, people and time.
