"Marnier Cognac is a perfect brand for our Artisan Spirits portfolio," said Terlato Wines CEO William A. Terlato. "We both agree that the luxury consumer expects and demands the best when it comes to Cognac. We are extremely pleased to introduce this exquisite XO Cognac to discerning American consumers."

Over the last 150 years, the House of Marnier Lapostolle has worked to master the art of blending and aging Cognacs that are recognized the world over for their harmonious and aromatic flavor and complexity.
"We are developing an excellent relationship with the Terlato family through our Lapostolle and Château de Sancerre partnership," says Alexandra Marnier-Lapostolle, vice chairman of Marnier-Lapostolle. "Now we are very pleased to open a new chapter, with Marnier Cognac."
Terlato will introduce Marnier XO Cognac in key markets later this year. Suggested retail price will be approximately $200 for a 750 ml bottle.
