Martell VS Fine Cognac

Martell VS Fine Cognac: A "Very Special" Harmony of four terroirs 

A blend of the four major crus of the Cognac region, Martell VS Fine Cognac contains eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois terroirs. The Martell VS has been aged in Limousin oak barrels for about 5-7 years, over 3 years longer than the legal requirement of 2 years. This is a testament to the craftsmanship Martell continues to implement despite becoming a hugely successful brand, guaranteeing quality with every sip.

Founded in 1715 by Jean Martell, the brand is older than a lot of the other major Cognac houses (Courvoisier or Hennessy for example), and has become iconic and recognizable all over the planet. Located in Cognac itself, on the banks of the Charente river, the brand exclusively uses French oak barrels to age their Cognacs, creating blends with lighter tannins and a more delicate woody flavor.

The house has over 300 years of history and heritage under its belt, so it’s clear that the expertise employed in producing even the youngest of Cognacs results in a quality product that sees their VS Fine Cognac a staple of many bars, restaurants and clubs across the world.
