A rare bottle of French-Korean heritage: A collector’s edition Martell VSOP, 20 years

Martell has always produced Cognac with both knowledge and emotion, and this pre-WWI bottle certainly has a beautiful story. The seller acquired the bottle in the 1950s. 

Although a VSOP, as with all Martell Cognacs, they are aged for far longer than required. In fact, this unique collector’s item has been aged for at least 20 years in oak barrels. 

This means that this is a very fine blend of Cognacs from both the 19th and 20th centuries. 

The most beautiful aspect of purchasing a collector's bottle of Cognac is not only the age of the rare eaux-de-vie within, but also the incredible stories that bring people together. This bottle in particular, is imbued with emotional significance, and will be treasured forever.

Martell are the oldest of the Big Four Cognac houses, and favor eaux-de-vie from the Borderies region for their incredible blends.

Story of the Cognac

The seller’s father was stationed in France during the Korean War in the 1950s, and rented a room with the seller’s mother at Chateau de la Vauguyon in Chinon, a town in the Loire valley of France. T

The owners, Mr and Mme. Duthu befriended the seller’s parents and gave them this very bottle of Cognac as a gift from their exclusive wine cellar, which was and still is a cellar on their property. 

Their son continues to live at the chateau.
