EXCEPTIONAL SPIRITS ENJOY AN ATTRACTIVE DYNAMIC
Rémy Cointreau has solid credentials in the exceptional spirits segment: exceptional spirits represent 54% of the Group’s sales, whereas they comprise just 9% of the global spirits market. These exceptional spirits enjoy an attractive dynamic (+11% growth per year on average, compared with +5% for the spirits market as a whole over the last eight years), driven by a move towards the high-end of the market and an increasingly discerning clientele in terms of the quality, production, know-how and history of the spirits they consume.
