The Martell Single Estate Collection Vignoble C. Mongillon Vintage 1989 Cognac is a true Grande Champagne wonder. The single-origin eaux-de-vie is the epitome of why this growth area is the premier cru of the region. From the moment you set your sights on its deliciously aged color, it's a delight for all the senses. The nose thrills with unusual aromas, including that of roasted coffee and nuts. From there, the journey continues on the palate, with intense fruity flavors indicative of the Grande Champagne region. Its final climax offers hints of blackcurrants and a truly satisfying finish. Certainly, one that a Cognac connoisseur will appreciate.
A Cognac of this depth and brilliance can only be the product of a house that truly understands what it takes to craft exceptional selections. That’s exactly what the Martell house encapsulates. Founded over 300 years ago, with the intention of producing high-quality Cognacs, the house prides itself on crafting brilliance. Showcasing that with ease, this Single Estate piece boasts quality, memorability and sophistication effortlessly. A true example of what this wonderful house can offer.
Representing its impressive age beautifully, this traditional decanter is a delight to the eye. Clean white, complemented by gold and royal swirl details creates undeniable sophistication. Finished in a carved wooden box, it’s an elegant display from the first glance to the final finish. One to extend as a gift, or to save for a special occasion.
As a single estate of impressive age, this selection should be savored neat to capture its full essence. Add ice for an extra punch, or a dash of water to tease the unique aromas to the surface.
Martell is the oldest of the Big Four Cognac houses. Similar to Rémy Martin, but a few years older still, not long ago did Martell 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, the cuvée 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, and are famous for using large amounts of eaux-de-vie from the Borderies terroir. 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!
