Preserving Quality in A Bottle

Born and bred in the Cognac region in southwestern France, Patrick Leger’s family has always been involved in the cognac industry in a variety of ways for generations.

Patrick joined the Campari group in 2020 as master blender and director of operation of two brands: Grand Marnier and Bisquit & Dubouché Cognac.

Besides mastering the art of blending, he is a passionate advocate of the safeguarding of the cognac appellation and the quality of the products. He is also acting vice president of the Technical Commission and permanent member of the Committee of the National Cognac Bureau. He is actively involved in all the technical areas of the production processes.

According to Patrick, although traditional craftsmanship is maintained in his industry, which is an evolution of techniques aimed at improving quality. However, their primary concern always remains “the protection of quality, and that’s the objective and role of the controlled appellation system in France”.
