Martell
Martell: The oldest of the important Cognac houses was founded in 1715 by Jean Martell, a native of the island of Jersey who was barely 20 years old at the time and attracted by the already worldwide reputation of Charente eaux-de-vie.
Today, Martell is the world's 2nd largest brand of Cognac. Master of all its production, from distillation to bottling, blending and ageing, it has chosen to produce Cognacs from the region's 4 main appellations and to give pride of place to Borderies, 3rd cru in the Cognac hierarchy, renowned for its elegance.
This know-how, combined with the oak barrels in which they age for many years, gives rise to Cognacs of extreme finesse, floral and fragrant, preciously preserved in bottles with very elegant lines that make them the jewels of Cognac.
Description Martell VSOP Red Barrel.
This is a blend of Cognacs from several crus in the delimited region of Cognac. The blend was aged in "roux" barrels, i.e. several decades old. These casks are fine-grained to obtain the best vanilla tannins after several millimeters of high-fire toasting performed at the cooperage.
La robe is copper-colored with bright gold highlights.
On the nose and palate, a lovely attack of candied fruits such as mirabelle plum, Reine Claude, Carpentras pink apricot, fig, cinnamon, Virginia blond tobacco with a long, velvety, very round finish on vanilla mocha and chocolate.
Would be great as an aperitif on the rocks or as a long drink with Perrier and a slice of lemon or with citrus Schweppes. Would also be suitable as an indispensable component in cocktails.
