Product Information

In fact, Malaysia is the second largest market for Martell Cognac globally which means we Malaysians sure know how to enjoy a glass of good ol’ brandy. The Martell company in Malaysia has taken this brandy to the next level with hosting parties and tastings. The Martell cognac house is the most longstanding of all the major cognac houses. For over three hundred years, this House has been passed down through generations. They pride themselves on their rich heritage and craftsmanship. Martell was founded in 1715 by Jean Martell, along the river Charente, at the very pinnacle of the French L’Art de Vivre. This French concept of “the art of living,” embodies the notion that one should elegantly embrace the richness of life. House Martell strives to capture this essence in their craft. In 1912 the marque launched Martell Cordon Bleu at the Hôtel de Paris, its first post- phylloxera cognac. While sold without designation (Martell XO is a distinct product), it is regarded as the oldest XO equivalent cognac still in production, and is widely credited as the first mass-market premium cognac. [9] Martell Cordon Bleu was served at the coronation of George V, on the maiden voyage of the RMS Queen Mary, and on board the Concorde. [10] A factor that determines the sweetness and floral notes of Martell’s cognac is the terroir or the actual land that the grapes are grown on. The region of Cognac is divided into six different vineyard areas. The climate of the region gives Martell’s cognac very rich aromas and smoothness.

This Martell expression is characterized by its fruitiness. On the nose there are aromas of orchard fruits like crystallized plums and apples, and roasted notes of mocha coffee, toasted almonds, and vetiver. It has a Well-rounded mellow mouthfeel with a smooth sustained finish of fruit, spice notes, gingerbread and roasted cocoa beans. In 1721, it is reported that they exported over 200,000 liters of signature blend to Great Britain alone. After Jean Martell’s death in 1753, the operation was taken over by his widow, his two sons, Jean and Frédéric, and his brother-in-law Louis Gabriel (brother of Jeanne-Rachel Lallemand), who further developed the house, transcendently expanding its influence. By the 19th century, Martell had established itself as the most prominent international exporter of cognac in the world, reaching as far as China and Japan.

Jean Martell, a young merchant, was born on the island of Jersey in 1694. [4] It was then a location known for smuggling, which may have led to his involvement in the liquor trade. [4] In 1715 he began his own trading business at Gatebourse in Cognac, [5] on the banks of the Charente, and thus founded one of the first cognac houses. Variations of the logo he chose, a swift in combination with the Martell family coat of arms, have been in use ever since. [4] An icon in the world of cognac and beyond, Martell Cordon Bleu was created in 1912 by Edouard Martell, the great-grandson of the founder of Maison Martell. Named after the famed international emblem of excellence, it was destined to be one of a kind: a new quality of cognac to be served in the world’s leading hotels and restaurants; a cognac to delight even the most demanding connoisseurs. More than a century later, it is widely regarded as one of the finest cognacs in the world.a b "Profile: The House of Martell". Luxury Insider. 16 November 2011.

Martell specifically uses fine-grain oak wood, which gives their cognac a delicate woody flavor.
