Martell Cordon Bleu XO

Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac truly is a piece of history.  Created back in 1912 by Edouard Martell, the recipe is now well over a century old - and it's one that's truly stood the test of time.  An XO quality, Cordon Bleu is now something of legend in the world of Cognac.

It has a distinctive taste that's characterised by a predominance of eaux-de-vie from the Borderies terror.  And of course, the bottle is instantly recognizable.  A Cognac of this standard is perfectly presented in such a simplistic bottle - after all, when a drink is of this quality, it's only right that the flavor is allowed to speak for itself.

Cellar Master of Martell, Christophe Valtaud, says of Cordon Bleu: "Here we have a unique Cognac in the XO category.  Martell Cordon Bleau is endowed with beautiful complexity and rich aromas, making it a legendary Cognac.  Its high proportion of Borderies marks this blend, expanding on its caramelized character with the smoothness of sweet spices, gingerbread, and roasted cocoa beans".
