Martell VSOP Cognac 70cl

Description

Martell VSOP Cognac

Founded in 1715 by Jean Martell, the Martell Cognac house is the oldest of the 'big four' (the others being Courvoisier, Hennessy, and Rémy Martin). 

Two marriages occured between the Martell and Hennessy families. This led to certain strategic decisions being made between the companies (this practise ceased in 1947). One of these decisions was fintroducing the star grading system at the same time.

Interesting Fact: Variations of the Martell logo, a swift in combination with the Martell family coat of arms, have been in use since the company started.

WIth their VSOP they maintain the typical Martell style. They age their blend of eaux-de-vie exclusively in barrels of fine-grained oak, which encourages the development of exquisite and lucious fruity aromas. The youngest of the eaux-de-vie's has a minimum age of 4 years. 

The resulting cognac has a warm copper colour to it. The aroma is intense, with ripe yellow fruits (mirabelle plums, greengagse, apricots and vine peaches) coming through particularly strong.

On the palate this is an elegant and exceptionally well-balanced cognac. The blend of luscious fruity notes is balanced perfectly with subtle woody overtones and the perfect amount of soft spices.
