Martell Single Cru XXO Borderies is blended from eaux-de-vie from the Borderies terroir, some more than 80 years old which have attained their aromatic plenitude, resulting in exceptional richness, elegance and finesse.
Golden amber with great brilliance and purity.
The first nose is both fine and expressive, typical of Borderies, with a soothing sensation evocative of infusions (chamomile, marjoram, peppermint) and sweet notes of acacia honey and fruit jelly. When the cognac is swirled in the glass, it evolves towards a perfect balance between fruit, a hint of oolong tea, and the richness and power of cedarwood.
After a fresh, delicate attack, this cognac reveals notes of dried fruit (date, fig, apricot) and soft spices (tonka bean, green cardamom), providing power, structure and character. Notes of rancio and a hint of blackcurrant emerge as the cognac evolves on the palate, creating an impression of gourmandise, harmony and remarkable complexity.
For the first time in over 300 years, with the Martell Single Cru collection, Maison Martell is presenting an individual exploration of its finest terroirs, revealing the unique aromatic specificities of each.
Representing just 5% of Cognac vineyards, the small Borderies terroir extends over approximately 4,000 hectares of gentle hills and valleys, dotted with woods.
