Who We Are

A French Company Driven by Excellence

LES BIENHEUREUX — the fortunate — is a French company that grows at the tremendous pace of 40% per annum. Established by Jean MOUEIX and Alexandre SIRECH in 2014 to participate in a French reindustrialisation scheme respectful of people and environment, the company exclusively designs, produces and markets its own brands.

Its strategy is to anticipate and create promising categories before assuming their leadership.

The company's main assets are: a leading position in French whisky and Costa Rican rum, a stable family shareholding structure, high-quality expertise acknowledged by the record number of gold medals in the sector, cutting-edge production facilities in France and Costa Rica (10% of sales in R&D), a small, passionate, and agile team.

Visionaries Who Redefined French Spirits

Launched in 2015 by Alexandre Sirech (former C.E.O. of HAVANA CLUB) and Jean Moueix (owner of PETRUS), LES BIENHEUREUX revolutionized the spirits market by innovating through excellence.

Our R&D team works with Verrenoir black glasses and only finalizes a product when it beats its best competitors in a blind tasting — no compromise. This method made BELLEVOYE the leader in French whiskies and EL PASADOR DE ORO the most awarded rum.

The company invests 10% of its turnover in R&D and maintains +86% average annual growth over five years. All production happens in our own facilities in Cognac and Central America.
