-17%Martel Cordon Blue 700ml
Save KSh 4,900 · 17% off
This is the bottle you bring out slow. Pour a measure and it sits there deep gold, smelling like baked plums and dark coffee. The first sip is soft and round, candied fruit and a little gingerbread spice, then a long warm finish that just keeps going. It is a sipper, full stop. Good company, a quiet evening, something worth marking. Want it tonight? We move fast, any hour.
Lean in and you get orchard fruit first, ripe plum and apple, then roasted mocha coffee and toasted almonds underneath. On the tongue it's mellow and rounded, never sharp. Candied fruit and honey, a hum of cinnamon and gingerbread, a whisper of dark chocolate, all sitting on smooth oak. The finish is long and gentle, more warmth than burn. That silky, fruity richness is the Borderies talking, the smallest cru in Cognac and Martell's secret weapon.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Martell is the oldest of the big cognac houses, going since 1715 in the town of Cognac, France. Cordon Bleu itself dropped in 1912, made by Édouard Martell and his cellar master Auguste Chapeau, and it was actually the first cognac ever to get its own name instead of just a quality grade. They launched it at the Hôtel de Paris in Monaco and the rich crowd on the Riviera went mad for it. The recipe still leans hard on Borderies eaux-de-vie, which is what gives it that round, almost floral softness. More than a century on, barely changed.
