Bénédictine traces its origins to the Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy, where Dom Bernardo Vincelli crafted a secret herbal elixir in 1510, blending local medicinal plants with exotic spices. Safeguarded through generations, the recipe was entrusted to the Le Grand family, with Alexandre Le Grand ensuring its preservation through meticulous craftsmanship that endures today. In homage to its monastic roots, the distinctive bottle bears the Benedictine motto "D.O.M.," symbolizing devotion and mastery. To honor the legacy, Le Grand commissioned an opulent palace that serves as both a production site and a showcase of the family's treasured art and artifacts.
