Of the oldest of the famous Cognac trading houses, this is an assembly of Cognac from the Grande Champagne and Borderie. Honorary to the founder, the Englishman Jean Martell, who came to France in 1715 and started trading in Cognac. Besides the Grande Champagne, which gives the Cognac a lot of softness, Martell likes to use Borderie Cognac in their assemblages, which gives a lot of strength and body. The XO is a wonderful example of this. A subtle blend of fruits, herbs and nuts.
