Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac has stood as a benchmark of quality since Edouard Martell first created it in 1912, and more than a century later it remains one of the most respected names in the category. This is a cognac with real history behind it, one that has captivated generations through a blend that has changed remarkably little because it simply hasn’t needed to.
What sets Cordon Bleu apart is its emphasis on eaux de vie from the Borderies, the smallest and most exclusive growth area in all of Cognac. That focus gives the blend a distinctive floral character and a smooth, mellow quality that’s genuinely hard to find elsewhere. Layered on top are rich notes of candied fruit, plum, and apple, along with subtle roasted tones and a delicate hint of violets, creating an aromatic complexity that unfolds beautifully in the glass.
On the palate, Cordon Bleu delivers a harmonious, velvety texture that carries its flavors smoothly through to a long, lingering finish. The eaux de vie in the blend are aged a minimum of ten years, with many held for considerably longer, giving the cognac a refinement and depth that reflects real patience and expertise from Martell’s cellar masters.
This is a cognac best appreciated slowly, ideally neat in a tulip shaped glass that allows its aromas to fully develop. A few drops of water or a single ice cube can also help open it up further, revealing even more of its layered character.
Presented in a distinctive bottle marked by its signature blue ribbon and housed in an elegant gift box, Cordon Bleu carries an unmistakable sense of prestige that makes it a natural choice for meaningful gifts as well as personal collections.
For those exploring the cognac range at EB Drinks, Cordon Bleu offers a compelling counterpoint to Martell’s own Blue Swift, showing the more traditional side of the house, while standing comfortably alongside Hennessy XO and Courvoisier XO for anyone comparing the top expressions from Cognac’s most storied houses. Whether opened to mark a significant occasion or added to a growing collection, Martell Cordon Bleu delivers a cognac experience defined by history, elegance, and enduring craftsmanship.
