Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac (750Ml)

Description

Martell Cordon Bleu was first bottled in 1912 by Edouard Martell. It came from a house Jean Martell founded in Cognac back in 1715. It is still the house's flagship blend.

The heart of this classic Cognac is the Borderies cru. Over half the blend comes from there. Grande and Petite Champagne add depth, and a little Fins Bois joins in. The eaux-de-vie age from about 10 to 25 years in fine-grained Tronçais oak.

On the nose you will find orange, cinnamon and oak, with dried fruit and nuts behind them. The palate is balanced and gentle. Candied fruit, pear and citrus meet light spice, a hint of leather and toasted oak. The finish is dry and lightly spiced, with a note of prune.

It has a strong record at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. There it won Double Gold in 2005, 2012 and 2016, plus Gold in 2011. The International Wine & Spirit Competition gave it Silver in 2013.

Pour it neat in a tulip glass. Try it with dark chocolate, roast duck or aged gouda after dinner.
