Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac - 1980's Bottling

Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac. Created in 1912 by Edouard Martell, the bottle became a legend in the world of Cognac as middle range Cognac. One must admit that it’s a rather a good “top 4 cognac brand” eaux-de-vie. A gentle giant.

The Cognac’s taste is dominated by eaux-de-vie from the Borderies area. The bottle authentic, not overcharged. This Cognac has a clear character and differs through a rather unique, balanced character.

The color: Amber bronze colour

On the nose: Elegant aromas and flavours of cinamon, flowers and wooden floral. Prune like, a bit of sweetness

The taste: A rich yet supple entry, very round some sense of vanilla, spice and citrus peel. Dense dried fruit, nut, sweet spice, chocolate, deep copper chestnut aromas and some roasted nuts.

The finish: a warm finish, some leather. Really solid.

The cru (origin) and the blend: Comes from different crus, but the Borderies area comes through a lot. More than 150 different eaux-de-vie blended.

The Cordon Bleu received a Gold Medal at International Review of Spirits Award.
