Cointreau is a French brand that was born in the 19th century thanks to the Cointreau brothers who founded a distillery and liqueur house in Angers in the Loire valley. Their most important product takes the name of Cointreau, produced since 1885, and is nothing more than a triple-sec, that is, an orange flavored liqueur.
In 1990 the Cointreau company merged with Remy Martin and is now listed on the stock exchange as the Rémy Cointreau group.
