French beverage brands Duval-Leroy and Cointreau announce limited editions

French beverage houses Duval-Leroy and Cointreau have announced the release of highly limited edition products.

Duval-Leroy is launching ‘Destinations Secrètes’ in September 2026. This collection consists of 999 wooden boxes containing four champagnes intended for blind tasting. The selection features four different villages—Aÿ, Cramant, Cumières, and Vertus—and includes three different vintages (2002, 2008, and 2009). The goal of the blind tasting is to allow consumers to evaluate the wines without being influenced by labels or reputation.

Cointreau has unveiled a special edition bottle celebrating its birthplace, Angers. Only 5,122 bottles will be produced, and they will be sold exclusively at the Carré Cointreau in Saint-Barthélemy-d’Anjou. The label features various local symbols, including the Verdun bridge, the Angers castle, and references to the city's history with orange merchants.
