Patrick Raguenaud

Master Distiller Marnier-Lapostolle

For over 150 years the House of Grand Marnier® has been recognized for our expertise in making some of the world's finest liqueurs. I am proud to bring this unique heritage and craftsmanship to the production of NAVAN®. To marry Natural Vanilla with rich, complex French cognac requires the same artisanal skill and attention to detail as the process of blending cognac with orange to produce Grand Marnier®.

Cognac is such a multifaceted spirit and few flavors can harmonize well with its profile. Uniquely, Madagascar Natural Vanilla complements aged cognac's existing vanilla components and is a natural fit. It is quite rewarding to bring together these two distinctive elements to craft a Natural Vanilla liqueur as expressive and sophisticated as NAVAN®.
