Martell Cordon Bleu VSOP - #4 of Best VSOP Cognac Brands

Martell Cordon Bleu VSOP

The craft of cognac making requires infinite patience paired with a deep understanding of the characteristics of the grapes that go into the barrel. Benoît Fil, Cellar Master for Martell brings both of these qualities to crafting a very special cognac—the VSOP Cordon Bleu offering. This cognac possesses intense complexities characteristic of the Borderies vintages that are a large part of its composition. A spirit with a deeply gilded aspect and highlights of copper, Cordon Blue has long been recognized for its smoothly round mouthfeel with sustained notes of crystallized plum and autumn’s sweetest apples. The experience is brought to a brilliant finish in an aria of gingerbread, cocoa, and roasted, nutty coffee notes. A piquant, mellow overtone of deeply toasted almonds and vetiver complete this infinitely complex cognac. No matter what great celebration of life or achievement you have planned, this XO offering is perfect as the star of the toast.
