PERFECT ALCHEMY

L'Or de Jean Martell owes its character to aged eaux-de-vie from the Borderies which lend richness and complexity. The Borderies, Cognac's most exclusive growth, yield the refined eaux-de-vie that are the hallmark of Martell. As they mature, their candied-fruit notes offset the power and depth of the Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie. A blend of several hundred eaux-de-vie, some of which have aged over a century like hidden treasure deep in the house's cellars, L'Or de Jean Martell is the culmination of a quest for perfection lasting three hundred years.

"Make our duty a pleasure and our pleasure a duty" (Jean Martell, 1721)

TASTING NOTES

Colour : an intense amber with hints of shimmering mahogany.

Nose : elegance and complexity of its aromas: orange peel and prune, with hints of cinnamon, cumin and gingerbread. When swirled, there follow venerable notes of Oriental forest : myrrh, agar wood, rancio, dry walnut.

Taste : at first, smooth and subtle. Then the flavours develop and the aroma, punctuated with notes of blackcurrant, rancio and dried fruits, becomes full-biodied and intense. The tasting culminates with an extraordinary cascade of notes of bitter orange peel, prune, spices, gingerbread. Beautifully long finish.
