Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinguished French Cognac presents a warm, rich copper hue complemented by glints of gold of exceptional brilliance and depth — a colour that speaks eloquently of the fine-grained oak barrel ageing that is the hallmark of the Martell house style, and the uncompromising savoir-faire that has defined the House of Martell as one of the world’s most celebrated and respected Cognac producers.
Aroma
The nose is intense and immediately captivating, with aromas of ripe yellow fruits — mirabelle plum, greengage, apricot and vine peach — creating a lusciously fruity and beautifully expressive aromatic profile of genuine elegance and distinction. Subtle hints of wood and soft spices add depth and complexity to the bouquet, reflecting the refined aromatic development that Martell’s exclusive use of fine-grained oak barrels encourages in every eaux-de-vie.
Palate
Elegant and harmonious on the palate, with luscious fruit notes of exceptional ripeness and freshness perfectly balanced by subtle woody overtones and soft spices of genuine refinement. The blend of eaux-de-vie — the youngest of which has aged for at least four years — delivers a Cognac of outstanding balance, smoothness and authentic Martell character. The finish is warm, long and deeply satisfying — a VSOP of genuine elegance and harmonious distinction.
Pairs With
This exceptional Martell VSOP Cognac is a natural companion to stone fruit tarts, apricot desserts, soft-ripened cheeses, smoked salmon, duck rillettes, or enjoyed neat or over ice as an elegant aperitif or digestif, making it ideal for entertaining, gifting and any occasion that calls for an authentically elegant French Cognac.
