Martell VSOP Cognac Medaillon

The Médallion Martell V.S.O.P. (‘Very Superior Old Pale’) honors the year 1715, when House Martell was established. A face of Louis XIV is engraved on the bottle’s gold medallion insignia. Grande and Petite Champagne, Fins Bois, and the Borderies are the four cognac crus that are used to make Martell’s V.S.O.P. cognac, which is a blend of eaux-de-vie that have aged for at least four years. The other blends in the Martell brand, which mostly use grapes from the Borderies, are not like this one.

There are notes of liquorice, quince, raisin, plum, and bittersweet lime on the nose. Fresh springtime aromas of hazelnut and fine grain come next. It has subtle aromas of crystallized fruit and is complex in the mouth. It has a circular, lengthy finish.

Out of all the major cognac houses, Stars Martell cognac cordon has the longest history. This House has been handed down through the ancestors for more than three centuries. They take great pleasure in their craftsmanship and historical tradition. At the height of the French L’Art de Vivre, beside the Charente River, Jean Martell established Martell cognac stars in 1715. The idea that one should gracefully embrace life’s richness is embodied in this French concept of “the art of living.” In their work, House cognac ml Martell aims to convey this spirit.

Martell began what would become a rich history in the cognac industry as a member of a well-known Jersey Channel merchant family. The young Briton started off as a broker, buying and reselling casks of wine and cognac from the Borderies in Normandy, Holland, the Channel Islands, and Picardy. Prices for wine and cognac rose and fell sharply as a result of successive failures brought on by the state of the economy at the time. However, House Martell achieved remarkable success thanks to Jean’s commercial zeal and successful marriages into the families of well-known cognac merchants, particularly to Jeanne-Rachel Lallemand, “a direct descendant of Jacques Roux, a pioneering 17th century cognac merchant.”

They reportedly sold more than 200,000 liters of their unique blend to Great Britain alone in 1721. Following Jean Martell’s death in 1753, his widow, his two sons, Jean and Frédéric, and his brother-in-law Louis Gabriel (Jeanne-Rachel Lallemand’s brother) took over the business. They grew the house further and significantly increased its impact. Martell became the world’s leading exporter of cognac by the 19th century, with its products reaching as far afield as China and Japan.

The whole line of cognacs from House Martell cognac includes ten different styles. Grapes from the main cognac crus are used at the Martell distillery. Their cognac is matured in characteristic Tronçais oak casks, and most of their products are made from Ugni Blanc (or Trebbiano) grapes from the Borderies vineyards. They employ the classic “Charentais alembics” (pot stills) in a twofold distillation process.
