Martell Xo Cognac with Gift Box, 700ml

Product Information

Introduced in 2005, Martell XO is a distinct blend from the house of Martell with 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) and an intense yet powerful flavour profile that carries the taste of audacious tradition. The Martell family, originally from Jersey, used as their coat of arms a shield with three gold hammers and a swift. With its elongated shape and cut surface, the Martell Noblige bottle shape is instantly recognisable.

Finally, its name is printed in handwritten letters on the label to emphasise the unique character of this cognac. Now, it is a big player in the luxury goods market and never fails to reinvent itself time and time again.It can also be used in cooking as an addition to buttery sauces that go along with mushrooms and strong spices like ginger and paprika. If you do require precise ingredient information you should consult the manufacturer, whose contact details will appear on the packaging or label. The punt in the base of the bottle has been redesigned with an accentuated curve, evoking the famously round, generous taste of Martell Cordon Bleu.

The excellence of this Cognac has been well noted by experts within the industry; having recently been awarded a Gold Medal at the 2017 Cognac Masters. We are the only Cognac house to distil clear wines in this way, producing exceptionally fine eaux-de-vie. You should also note that the picture images show only our serving suggestions of how to prepare your food - all table accessories and additional items and/or ingredients pictured with the product you are purchasing are not included. 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.

These designations, which may be included on the label, refer to the age of the youngest eau-de-vie used in making the cognac. The respective electrifying blue and red colours that define these two cognacs catch the eye, and imagination. It has a particularly elite history, having been served to the Queen on her Concorde mission, to being used in Hollywood films, royal weddings and more. A very feminine high end cognac compared to some other big houses, in the sense that it has tastes of pear drops, bouquet and fresh white grapes instead of maybe powerful oak and tangerine. The knowledge and skill of Martell's Cellar Masters has been passed down to create the unique Martell style; elegant, complex and balanced.

Martell XO, with its distinctive arch-shaped bottle, is a powerful symbol of vision and inspiration, which bears testimony to Jean Martell's commitment to excellence. A true blending masterpiece; first the aromas tease your senses, to then thrill the palate with its delicious texture, rich depth and yet manages to remain elegant throughout. Aroma: Spicy notes of black and pink pepper and coriander, rounded out by rich aromas of fig, walnut and sandalwood.Cognac has been widely shipped in bottles since the 1850s, after the use of barrels for shipment declined. Martell Cordon Bleu is an icon of the House, created in 1912 to immediate acclaim by the founder’s great-grandson Edouard Martell.

The heritage cues of Martell Cordon Bleu – the seal of the Martell family and the eponymous blue ribbon – have been reworked with vibrancy and modernity, with plays on different shades of blue creating a sense of dynamism.

There are also some brands of cognac that are classified as Cuvée, which denotes the blend and not necessarily the age of the spirit. The designs for Maison Martell’s most prestigious cognacs are as striking as refined, presented in a carafe bottle with pronounced arch and elongated neck. Don’t limit your options because the Martell XO also works with other cocktails like Cider Punch, Sangria and Cognac Cooler. And in a sign of the times, an integrated NFC tag carries a customised message for whoever is lucky enough to enjoy this masterful cognac. Going deeper into the gastronomic side of things, Martell XO provides some interesting pairings with rich foods such as aged cheeses like camembert and cheddar, and creamy sauces.
