Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
- Nose: Exceptionally rich and complex. It opens with vibrant floral notes (violet), followed by deep aromas of orchard fruits (crystallized plums and apples) and roasted coffee beans.
- Palate: Remarkable roundness and mellow texture. It features layers of sweet spices (cinnamon), gingerbread, and roasted almonds, all carried by a distinctive fruitiness.
- Finish: Exceedingly long and elegant, leaving a trail of fruit and spice that lingers on the palate.
Food Pairings & Serving
- Savory: Complements rich dishes like Foie Gras or roasted duck with a cherry reduction.
- Cheese: Pairs beautifully with Aged Mimolette or a creamy Roquefort.
- The "Digestif" Serve: Cordon Bleu is a classic post-dinner spirit. It is best enjoyed neat at room temperature or with a small splash of water to release the floral Borderies aromas.
- The Luxury Gift: Its historic blue ribbon ("Cordon Bleu") and timeless bottle shape make it one of the most prestigious gifts in the spirits world.
About the brand
Martell is the oldest of the "Big Four" Cognac houses, founded in 1715 by Jean Martell. Cordon Bleu, created in 1912 by Edouard Martell, is the brand’s most iconic and legendary expression. Unlike other Cognacs that focus heavily on the Grande Champagne region, Cordon Bleu is defined by its high proportion of Borderies eaux-de-vie, making it a unique "connoisseur’s choice" known for its floral elegance rather than just raw power.
