Distiller Notes
Crafted from a blend of four of the most sought-after crus, with a notable Borderies content, Martingale embodies freshness, fragrance, and refinement.
A bright, precious amber with deep golden and honeyed reflections. Elegant and refined with notes of spring flowers, acacia, light vanilla, almonds and madeleine. Well-rounded with an abundance of freshness. Hints of tannins and oak balance perfectly with subtle floral and fruity notes. Soft, long, with lingering notes of elegant sandalwood denoting maturity and refinement.
Widely regarded as the finest and most complex grape-based spirit in the world, Cognac follows rigorously strict production guidelines. It is made exclusively of wine—most commonly from Ugni Blanc—from the Charente and Charente-Maritime regions surrounding the town of Cognac in southwestern France. After a second distillation in antique copper pot stills (called charentais), the spirit is transferred to French oak barrels and aged a minimum of two years (VS). Cognac is classified by both age and region (Cru). The Grande Champagne Cru and Petite Champagne Cru, both having shallow limestone soils, are the most respected.
