Collection: Martell Cognac

Over the centuries, Martell has received numerous awards and accolades, underscoring the brand’s outstanding quality and heritage. As one of the leading brands in the global cognac market, Martell has also established a firm foothold in modern mixology. Many bartenders around the world use Martell Cognac as the base for innovative cocktails that elegantly blend tradition and modernity.

Martell Cognac is distinguished by a special distillation process that gives the cognac its unique character and smoothness. Unlike many other houses, Martell does not use grape marc, resulting in a purer and smoother flavour. Double distillation in traditional copper stills ensures that only the finest aromas and flavours are preserved.

The history of Martell Cognac began in 1715, when Jean Martell, a young merchant from Jersey, founded his own cognac company in the heart of the Cognac region. From the very beginning, Martell focused on quality and craftsmanship, and the brand soon gained international renown. Today, Martell Cognac is regarded as one of the oldest and most prestigious cognac houses in the world, distinguished by its unique distillation method and the selection of the finest eaux-de-vie.

Martell Cognac is aged in fine Limousin oak casks, which give the distillate its distinctive colour and flavour. The oak barrels help to harmonise the aromas and give the cognac its characteristic smoothness. Martell is particularly renowned for its ‘Borderies’ eaux-de-vie, which originate from the smallest and rarest wine-growing sub-region within the Cognac region. These impart a floral note and a distinctive elegance to the cognac.

Martell offers a wide range of cognacs that delight connoisseurs and newcomers alike. From the classic Martell VS and Martell VSOP to the more exclusive varieties such as Martell XO and Martell Cordon Bleu – each cognac tells its own story and offers a distinctive taste experience. Particularly noteworthy is Martell Cordon Bleu, a classic renowned for its rich and complex aroma, which has been delighting connoisseurs around the world since its launch in 1912.
