Cointreau Noir was developed in 2012 by Rémy Martin Cellar Master Pierrette Trichet and Cointreau’s Master Distiller Bernadette Langlais Master Distiller (1978 — 2016). Cointreau Noir is a blend of 70% Cointreau and 30% cognac from the House of Rémy Martin. Cointreau and Rémy Martin cognacs are owned by the French spirits group Rémy Cointreau. Thus, a blend of the company’s two flagship spirits makes sense.
