With its distinctive, arch-shaped bottle, Martell XO is a powerful symbol of inspiration - a testimony to Jean Martell’s visionary spirit. Combining the elegance of the Borderies with the power of the Grande Champagne terroirs, Martell is an outstanding XO bearing the hallmark of the Martell style. A spicy, rich crescendo starting with the mellow elegance of the Borderies, followed by the intensity and finesse typical of Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie. Golden amber with dark copper and mahogany highlights. Ground spice (black pepper, coriander) and red berries. Rich fruit flavours like fig chutney and compote, almonds and walnuts. Beeswax and sandalwood. Rounded and fruity on the palate (notes of fig and walnut) followed by the characteristic power and finesse of eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne. A long and silken finish. Ideal for special occasions. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water. "The taste of tradition in all its glory. With its dominant characteristic of Grande and Petite Champagne, Martell XO offers a pleasant body and structure in the mouth for great cognac lovers to enjoy." - Christophe Valtaud, Cellar Master.
