Martell is the oldest of the Cognac houses. Founded in 1715 by Englishman Jean Martell, it rapidly exported to the United Kingdom and Asia, but above all was instrumental in developing the reputation of the Cognac region. In 1912, Martell created Cordon Bleu, the most famous and award-winning Cognac ever, which has certainly marked historic milestones in recent history, taking part in coronations, royal weddings, polar expeditions, Hollywood movies, boarding the Queen Mary and flying on Concorde.


Martell Cognacs are aged for a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 70, in lightly toasted oak barrels. The Cellar Master, Christophe Valtaud, after careful and slow analysis including the type of ageing and other various combinations, is used to create unique eaux-de-vie that have continued to excel among all other Cognacs for more than 300 years.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
