Tasting review:
Eye: Old gold robe with flashes of copper
Nose: Distinctive, leafy fruit: blackcurrant, candied orange peel, walnuts, and beeswax
Palate: Powerful yet balanced, blackcurrant leaf, pleasant tang of bitterness. Beautifully long finish.
The Martell Single Estate Collection Vignoble A. Couillaud 1978 Vintage Cognac is going to be-come a legend amongst Cognac connoisseurs. A singularly outstanding offering from Martell, if you want to discover all that is great from the regions of Petite Champagne, then this eau-de-vie will surely take some beating.
Powerful yet round, it’s hard to believe that the wonderfully aromatic nose could possible be out-shone by any other of your senses. And then you taste it… This is a Cognac that just keeps on giving through out the whole sensory journey. It also delights with an exceptional length of finish.
A limited edition Cognac that, should you own it, would likely become the pride of your collection.
Martell is the oldest of the big cognac houses. Similar to Rémy Martin, but a few years older still, Martell will soon celebrate its 300 year anniversary. The history of Martell & Co dates back to 1715, when Jean Martell founded the company with the wish to produce only the highest quality in cognac. With the legendary bottles Martell Cordon Bleu, Martell Extra L’Or de Jean Martell and the recent Création Grand Extra from 2007, the company strongly implanted itself in the luxury goods market. It belongs to Pernod Ricard and has sales of around 15 million liters every year. The most precious eaux-de-vie, some of which date back to 1830, are stored in a secret location in the cellars of Jean Martell - approximately 1,6 million 9 liter cases!
