Awards/Ratings

Tasting Note
Floral and candied-fruit nose (orange blossom, apricot), toasted almond and vanilla; silky palate of dried/dried-apple fruit, honey and warm spice; long, elegant oak- and spice-driven finish.

Food Pairing
Western: foie gras, blue cheese, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, orange marmalade; Asian: Peking duck, char siu (Cantonese roast pork), miso-glazed salmon, spiced dried mango or candied ginger.

Production Method
Double distillation in traditional copper Charentais (pot) stills of clear white wines (no skin contact), aged in French oak barrels and expertly blended by the cellar master.

Vineyard Info
Maison Martell, founded 1715, is one of Cognac’s oldest houses and is known for its use of Borderies eaux‑de‑vie and elegant, floral style; now part of Pernod Ricard.
