Martell Cordon Bleu Lunar New Year 2026 Limited Edition

Taste Notes

Cordon Bleu is a "connoisseur's cognac," prized for its complexity and the high proportion of rare Borderies eaux-de-vie.

• Appearance: Deep, golden copper with shimmering highlights.
• Aroma: Vibrant and rich. You’ll find candied plum, apple, and apricot harmonizing with roasted notes of mocha coffee, toasted almonds, and vetiver.
• Palate: Exceptionally mellow and rounded. It features flavors of honey and gingerbread, balanced by dried fruits and a delicate floral lift.
• Finish: Impressively long and satiny, characterized by lingering notes of fruit and warming spices like cinnamon and clove.

Food Pairings

Because of its rich, fruity intensity and spicy undertones, this cognac is a versatile partner for bold flavors:

• Seafood: It is a classic match for crustaceans (lobster, crayfish, or scallops), as the cognac’s richness brings out the natural sweetness of the shellfish.
• Main Courses: Roasted poultry, veal, or duck with a fruit-based reduction (like orange or plum).
• The "Celebration" Pairing: Dark chocolate desserts with orange peel or a traditional Tarte Tatin.
• Cheese: Extra-old Mimolette or a mature Comté with dried fruit chutney.
• Cigar: Its spicy, robust profile makes it an excellent companion for a medium-to-full-bodied cigar.
