Martell Vsop

Martell Vsop is a blend of eaux-de-vie, the youngest of which is aged for at least 4 years. This cognac provides the perfect balance of delicious, fine and fruity notes with subtle woody overtones. Elegant and harmonious, the Martell VSOP is a full-fledged expression of  Martell style.

History

Founded in 1715, Martell is the oldest cognac house that utilises 300 years of Savoiefer to turn Charente grapes  into very pure eau de vie using a traditional double distillation process. In addition to its passion for crafts and its deep ties to terroir, the Maison Martell is characterised by its boldness against the conventions of creating new expressions of cognac, including the iconic Martell Cordon Bleu in 1912.
