Tasting review:
Eye: Deep, aged, rich color
Nose: Old walnuts, figs, almonds, and unusual roasted coffee
Palate: Characteristic of Grande Champagne: round, structured, with intense flavors – almonds, walnuts, dried fruits. Long finish with a hint of blackcurrant as a finale
The Martell Single Estate Collection Vignoble C. Mongillon Vintage 1989 Cognac is a Grande Champagne delight! This single 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 it’s deliciously aged color, this is a delight for all the sens-es. 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 so indicative of Grande Champagne, fol-lowed by a truly satisfying finish. It also offers a final climax with hints of blackcurrants right at the end of the taste experience.
Truly one for the connoisseurs…
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!
