The recipe dates back to the 19th century and originates from the practice of macerating mandarins in Cognac; the product was relaunched as a brand in 1892.

Historically production has been linked to the Distillerie de Biercée (Biercée/Thuin, Belgium). In March 2026 an agreement was announced for the transfer of the brand to Pagès‑Védrenne (Iconic Nectars).
