"With Martell Single Cru, a rare and prestigious collection that represents less than 1% of Martell cognacs, my aim was to reveal the richness and diversity of the best vintages. "
CHRISTOPHE VALTAUD
Conceived under the direction of cellar master Christophe Valtaud, Martell XO Single Cru Borderies is an olfactory immersion in the Cognac region, offering an exclusive 100% expression of Borderies. As the ideal entry to the Martell collection, this cognac is the perfect starting point for exploring the subtleties of the Borderies cru.
Blended from eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from this terroir, Martell Single Cru Borderies offers a taste experience rich in sweet fruit and subtle flowers. With its soft golden color, this cognac unfolds elegantly on the tongue, offering a sweet fruity essence and a full, deliciously persistent finish.
The deep amber color with golden highlights reflects the richness of this cognac. On the nose, an airy first breath reveals an elegant bouquet of wild flowers, evolving with agitation to reveal rich, candied and dried fruit notes, such as apricot and date. The overall impression is one of captivating fullness and sweetness.
On the palate, after a full, round attack, notes of candied fruit emerge, accompanied by delicate woody notes and refined spices (cinnamon, vanilla bean, nutmeg), creating a sensational harmony. The heavy clay-limestone soils of the Borderies cru give this creation delicate, elegant eaux-de-vie.
