LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

A technical triumph of subtlety. By using red barrels, Martell has created a V.S.O.P that respects the fruit, offering a level of elegance and drinkability that is rare in the category.

The Library Note

Founded in 1715, Martell is the oldest of the 'Big Four' houses. Their V.S.O.P is unique for its use of red barrels—casks that have already aged eaux-de-vie for years—allowing the natural character of the grapes to shine through without being masked by heavy oak tannins.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Intense aromas of yellow fruit—mirabelle plum, apricot, and luscious peach—with a subtle, refined spice.

THE PALATE

Round and succulent. Notes of sweet dried fruit give way to a sophisticated woody spice and a hint of silken vanilla.

THE FINISH

Long and balanced with a clean, fruity aftertaste.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'French Highball': Pour 1.5 oz Martell over ice and top with premium soda water. Its lack of aggressive tannins makes it exceptionally refreshing and reveals the delicate fruit notes often hidden in brandies.

Composition

Distilled Grapes

EXPERT TECHNIQUE

Distillation of only clear wines (without lees) followed by maturation in fine-grained oak barrels that have already reached their 'red' stage.
