  • The Quintessence of The House Of Martell
  • background

  • bottle
  • ‘Make our duty a pleasure and our pleasure a duty.’ (Jean Martell, 1721) The quintessence of Martell’s three-hundred-year quest for perfection, <i>L’Or de Jean Martell</i> is the culmination of the house’s unique style. An outstanding blend of several hundred different eaux-de-vie, some of them aged for over a century like hidden treasure deep in the Martell cellars, <i>L’Or de Jean Martell</i> is an incomparable cognac. Its unique character is owed to the aged eaux-de-vie from the Borderies, Cognac’s most exclusive growth and hallmark of Martell, which lend richness and complexity. As they mature, the Borderies candied fruit notes offset the power and depth of the Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie.
  • The virtuosity of an exceptional cognac.<br/> A symphony of fresh citrus notes, fruit, gingerbread and precious wood.
  • To be enjoyed neat for exceptional occasions.
  • Deep amber with hints of shimmering mahogany.
  • The freshness of oriental notes: bergamot and orange peel.<br/> Full-fruit harmony of dark berries and blackcurrants (bud, leaf and flower). Gingerbread notes: clove and cinnamon embraced by sweet vanilla.<br/> Oriental forests: woody notes of oud and myrrh, undergrowth and rancio.
  • Silky-smooth and subtle attack, followed by richer, more substantial flavours.<br/> Harmonious notes of blackcurrant and woodland undergrowth encounter tones of gingerbread and orange peel.<br/> The Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie bring strength and structure.<br/> An exquisite, lingering finish or “peacock’s tail” effect.
