For all those connoisseurs looking for an exceptional selection, Martell has once again introduced something truly special. After completing 100 years of world-class Cognac making, the brand has launched the Cordon Bleu Centenary limited edition. The set features an exquisite blue version of the classic bottle and also includes a 'montre' with a Borderies blend by maitre, Benoît Fil. Martell originally released the classic Cordon Bleu in 1912, at the Hotel de Paris in Monaco. In 2012 the cognac house celebrated this centenary with a huge event and this wonderful special edition cognac.
A Cognac as wonderful as this showcases all that this exceptional house stands for. Crafting world-class quality for over 300 years, it’s a testament to classic Cognacs across the globe. A superb example of this heritage, this limited edition is a celebration that truly encapsulates the essence of this house. One that every Martell, or Cognac lover will inevitably appreciate.
The Cordon Bleu Centenary edition features the centenary’s visual code, the infinity sign, which also represents figure 100. Presented in a wooden gift case, with silver trims and a magnetite opening system, it’s a simple design with unwavering sophistication. Optimizing the traditional Martell royal blue, with gold trimmings, it’s a symbol of heritage that you will be proud to display. Perfect as a gift to a true Cognac connoisseur.
A Cognac produced in celebration deserves to be saved for a special occasion. Enjoy with plenty of time to sip slowly, neat or on the rocks.
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!
