Martell Cognac - A symbol of French elegance
Martell is one of the oldest and most prestigious cognac brands in the world. Founded in 1715 by Jean Martell, the company has perfected the art of cognac production over three centuries. Martell stands for refinement, tradition and innovation and is still an integral part of French spirits culture today.
What makes Martell Cognac so special is the use of predominantly fruity, soft wines from the Borderies region, which give the brandy an elegant and aromatic flavour. Careful distillation in traditional copper stills and long maturation in French oak barrels characterise the distinctive style: harmonious, floral and with nuances of fresh fruit, honey and delicate wood notes.
Martell offers a wide range of cognacs, from the young and lively Martell VS to the luxurious and rare Martell L'Or de Jean. The Martell Cordon Bleu, a classic XO cognac that has been produced since 1912 and is appreciated for its balanced complexity, is particularly well known.
As one of the "big four" cognac houses (alongside Hennessy, Rémy Martin and Courvoisier), Martell has had a significant influence on the global distribution of cognac. Whether enjoyed neat, on ice or in fine cocktails, Martell epitomises the French way of life and master craftsmanship. For lovers of fine spirits, Martell remains an indispensable point of reference.
