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.
