Martell VSOP Cognac, a distinguished creation from the oldest of the Big Four Cognac houses, Martell & Co., is a testament to the brand's 300-year legacy of crafting the finest spirits. Founded in 1715 by Jean Martell, the house has been synonymous with exceptional quality and innovation in Cognac production.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: The Cognac displays a warm, coppery color with golden reflections, indicative of its aging in fine grain Tronçais oak casks. This unique, luminous appearance is a visual feast, setting the stage for the sensory experience to follow.
- Aroma: The nose is greeted with a rich bouquet of Mirabelle plum, apricot, and yellow melon. These fruity notes are elegantly intertwined with subtle hints of wood and delicate spices, creating a complex and inviting aroma.
- Flavour: On the palate, Martell VSOP is surprisingly rich and fruity, yet it maintains a delicate and well-balanced profile. The Cognac's flavour is a harmonious blend of the fruity character imparted by the Tronçais oak casks and the light tannins that infuse the eaux-de-vie with aroma.
- Mouthfeel: The Cognac offers a smooth and velvety mouthfeel, with a finish that lingers, leaving a memorable impression of spicy sweetness and rich fruitiness.
Martell's unique distilling style sets it apart, allowing for the production of exceptional eaux-de-vie. The Cognac is aged for at least 2 years and up to 8 years, reaching the perfect stage of maturation. The use of eaux-de-vie from the Borderies terroir, the smallest in the region, contributes significantly to the distinct flavor profile of Martell VSOP.
Martell VSOP Cognac is versatile in its enjoyment, perfect as a digestif, over ice, or straight from the freezer. The iconic Martell bottle, with its etched blue swift and cork seal, adds to the allure of this exquisite spirit, making it an elegant addition to any collection.
