Cointreau LIMITED EDITION BY VINCENT DARRÉ 40% Vol. 0,7l

VINCENT DARRÉ: THE MODERN DAY EDOUARD COINTREAU

Vincent Darré’s creativity knows no boundaries. His unbridled imagination is nourished by historical, literary, and cinematographic references; by travels and personalities from the past and present. This approach is the very essence of his style.

Fascinated by Surrealism and Dadaism, he focuses on the graphic research of images, as well as unencumbered spontaneity. His style is a blend of the elements that have influenced his life: the eccentricity of the 80s, the costumes he created for shows, the years he spent alongside great fashion designers (Karl Largerfeld, Andrée Putman etc.) and Maisons (Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Fendi, etc.).

He expresses a wild style in furniture, object collections, and original interiors (The Montana Hotel in Paris, The Baron in New York), and now brings this inimitable esthetic to Cointreau for the creation of this Limited Edition.

A signature flacon of striking modernity, the iconic Cointreau bottle stands out for its distinctive features. At its creation, Édouard Cointreau opted for the sobriety of a four-faced bottle, representing the four ingredients of his liqueur — distillate of orange peel essence, water, alcohol, sugar — and amber-colored glass that reveals the liquor’s surprising transparency upon pour.

While honoring the bottle’s original form, Vincent Darré reimagines it by creating three distinct labels akin to three original paintings, a first in the history of the Maison. He brings his style and name into the tradition of Cointreau, which, since its creation, has collaborated with creators from all domains: filmmakers (Frères Lumière), illustrators (Jean-Adrien Mercier), poster artists (Loupot, Tamagno), and designers (The Design Laboratory of Central St Martins).

Distributed on all continents, these collectors’ items by Vincent Darré not only reflect the inventive spirit of its creator, but also a unique savoir-faire, an outstanding family success, an Angevin heritage, and a proud French origin.

With a simple and fluid stroke, Vincent Darré subtly tells the story of the Maison Cointreau.

The profiles of the two faces that complement each other stand out from the paintings and outline the shape of the bottle. The profiles echo the couple Édouard and Louisa Cointreau, who have worked in harmony to make Cointreau a modern and avant-garde Maison.

The moon and the sun meet, illustrating the end of the day as the ideal time to enjoy a cocktail. Orange and blue prevail, both heritage colors that have defined the Maison Cointreau since its debut.

"The sun withdraws to make way for the moon and stars: the time has come to enjoy the cocktail, a moment of perfect balance between day and night. I like orange and blue, sharp colors... The bright orange of the fruit and its perfect match: the blue of the oceans these oranges had to cross."
