Producer Information: Martell
Martell, established in 1715 in the Cognac region of France, stands as one of the oldest cognac houses, founded by Jean Martell who harnessed the unique terroir of Charente to craft spirits with exceptional finesse. The house is distinguished by its use of eaux-de-vie from the Borderies cru, imparting a signature floral and nutty character to their cognacs, and by their commitment to double distillation of clear wines for purity and aromatic complexity. Martell’s production style emphasizes minimal filtration to preserve delicate flavors, setting them apart within the Cognac category. While best known for their classic cognacs such as Cordon Bleu and XO, Martell also explores limited editions and innovative blends that highlight regional nuances; however, they focus exclusively on brandy-based spirits rather than diversifying into other wine or liquor categories.

Cognac is a type of brandy that originates from the Cognac region in France, known for its unique production process and rich flavor profile. Made primarily from grapes such as Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard, Cognac undergoes double distillation in pot stills or column stills before being aged in oak barrels for a minimum of two years. This aging process contributes to its complex character, often revealing notes of dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and spice with floral undertones.
The texture of Cognac is silky and warming, providing a rich mouthfeel that enhances its enjoyment. It is commonly used in classic cocktails like the Sidecar and French 75 but can also be savored neat or on the rocks. The different classifications such as VS (Very Special), VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale), and XO (Extra Old) indicate varying aging periods and quality levels within this esteemed spirit category. Each sip offers a glimpse into the terroir of its origin, making Cognac a sophisticated choice for both casual drinkers and connoisseurs alike.
