Introduced by Edouard Martell in 1912, the Cordon Bleu Cognac has become synonymous with the Maison, quickly achieving international acclaim for its unique taste, which owes much to the influence of the eaux-de-vie from the Borderies. It presents a coppery hue with golden reflections, and its bouquet bursts with notes of apple, candied plum, and roasted almond. This is complemented by an elegant palate marked by finesse and smoothness. The complex hints of fruits and delicate spices further elevate this ethereal aromatic profile, striking a perfect balance between suppleness and potency. Truly, a delightful experience!
