Martell is one of the oldest and most prestigious cognac houses in the world, founded in 1715 by Jean Martell in Cognac, France. The brand is known for its rich history and commitment to crafting high-quality cognac using specific grape varieties from the Borderies, Grande Champagne, and Petite Champagne areas. Martell's cognacs are celebrated for their complexity, depth, and smoothness, achieved through a meticulous distillation process and extended aging in fine-grained oak barrels.
Martell VS (“Very Special”) is a youthful, vibrant Cognac known for its fruit-forward freshness, smooth balance, and notable mixability. It offers lively orchard fruit flavors, light spices, and a clean, medium-length finish.
Nose:
Fresh and approachable aromas—bright pear, apple, and citrus zest, with layers of vanilla, light honey, honeysuckle, and faint oak.
Palate:
Medium-bodied and smooth—with notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, then richer dried fruit flavors like plum and apricot, balanced by gentle oak spice.
Finish:
A clean, lingering finish that blends citrus zest, light oak tannins, and subtle warm spice—balanced and easygoing.
