Quintessence Grande Cuvee is the ultimate masterpiece of Maison Grand Marnier. Extremely rare & inspired by the brands origins, Quintessence embodies pure luxury. Its unrivalled elegance and exclusivity are elevated by the handcrafted Baccarat crystal carafe. With only 1,000 bottles in circulation, the Grand Marnier Cognac becomes a true masterpiece.
This extraordinary spirit is based on a century-old recipe found in the brand archives: Bigaradia oranges are macerated in Cognac and double distilled, yielding a drink richer, more full-bodied and complex than ever before. This limited release Grande Cuvee is crafted with the rarest and oldest hors dՉge cognacs, exclusively from Grande Champagne, including a 70 years old vintage from the Marnier Lapostolle private family cellar. A true tribute to the craftsmanship of the Master Blender Patrick Raguenaud. Quintessence is a spirit intricately built as a fragrance. The ultimate journey of senses is the creation of the French perfumer Marie Le Febvre.
The deep copper color initiates the serving ritual. Fresh lemony facets & orange, complex woody notes, walnut and luminous dry apricot culminate in a vibrant and lively finish of spicy cinnamon & dark vanilla. Serve Quintessence neat, in a crystal cognac sniffer glass: a hypnotic swirl slowly oxygenates the spirit to amplify its delicate alchemy. Pair it with chocolate for an immersive experience. Maison Baccarat and Grand Marnier once again reignited their passion for French excellence.
Each crystal carafe is handcrafted and unique. Its hypnotic, never-ending twist of crystal pays homage to the brands iconic ribbon. The drop-shaped decanter and the crystal podium complement the excellence of the liquid. The unique Gift Box with mirrors inside creates an interplay of reflections designed to stage the bottle. Grand Marnier Quintessence Cognac is a pure expression of heritage & ultimate beauty. A liquid so rare, savoring it becomes an unforgettable experience.
