Description
Martell Noblige Limited Edition by Angel Chen
Martell Noblige Cognac received its name in reference to the age old French saying, ‘Noblesse Oblige’ which calls on the responsibilities that accompany wealth and power. This is a well suited reference to this indulgent yet dignified Cognac. For the 2020 festive season, Maison Martell is bringing back its Martell Exclusives initiative. It has invited the fashion designer Angel Chen to design a unique bottle for this emblematic Cognac as part of a limited-edition gifting collection.
A masculine and elegant Cognac, this Napoléon blend contains Cognacs aged 10 years or more from a range of terroirs. There is a dominance of eaux-de-vie from the Borderies region giving it a more floral aroma which escorts a smooth and sensual fruity palate, lightly balanced with complex wood and caramelised notes.
Presentation of the bottle:
Fashion designer Angel Chen has produced a bold and vibrant style bottle which blends traditional Chinese motifs with modern Western aesthetics, echoing her own cosmopolitan background.
The striking design, which dresses the Noblige bottle in Angel’s signature colours of red, yellow and blue, is a commemoration of Maison Martell’s first shipments to China in 1858 and the odyssey of the East meeting the West.
How to enjoy:
A versatile cognac that can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways. The complex palate makes it perfectly suitable to drink neat or over ice, but the more adventurous might turn to a rich, stirred-down cocktail.
Why not try the Ampersand, first published in The Old Waldorf-Astoria Hotel Bar Book (1935):
30ml Martell Noblige Cognac
30ml Old Tom Gin
30ml Sweet Vermouth
5ml Dry Curaçao
1 dash Orange Bitters
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled coupette, garnish with a twist of lemon peel.
Whichever way you choose to drink it, Martell Noblige will always 'oblige' - it's a Cognac as individual as you are as a person.
