Martell Cordon Bleu Extra Cognac [1000ML]

Description

Looking for a cognac that bridges the gap between exceptional craftsmanship and extended maturation?

Martell Cordon Bleu Extra represents the pinnacle of the house’s iconic Cordon Bleu legacy, first created by Edouard Martell in 1912. This Extra classification expression showcases predominantly Borderies eaux-de-vie blended with Grande and Petite Champagne, with some components aged up to 60 years in French oak.
