Rémy Cointreau is a publicly listed company headquartered in Cognac, France, founded in 1990. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control, and it is listed as EPA: RCO.
Rémy Cointreau was formed in 1990 by the merger of the Rémy Martin cognac house, founded 1724, with the Cointreau liqueur business, and the two founding families still control it. It has deliberately narrowed its portfolio to expensive spirits, selling off cheaper brands to concentrate on margin.
