Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac 70cl

Rich, fruity, and unapologetically bold, this is the Cognac you pour when you want the glass to do the talking.

Martell Cordon Bleu is a classic from France’s Cognac region, built around deep, rounded fruit and a spiced, orange-zest glow that feels instantly “special occasion” without needing a special occasion.

• Nose: Candied orange peel, dried apricot, toasted nuts, and a soft wave of vanilla-like sweetness.
• Taste: Full-bodied and layered, with dark fruit, marmalade, gentle spice (think cinnamon and clove), and a rich, silky texture that sticks around.
• Finish: Long and warming, with lingering orange, nutty notes, and a mellow spice echo that keeps you coming back.

Why you’ll care: this is one of those Cognacs that doesn’t disappear in the glass. The flavours are big enough to sip slowly, but balanced enough that you don’t get palate fatigue after a few pours.

How to drink it: start neat to catch the fruit and orange peel, then add a tiny splash of water if you want it to open up. Also killer with one large ice cube if you like your Cognac a bit more relaxed.

If you’re used to whisky, this is a smart crossover bottle. You’ll get the same slow-sipping satisfaction, just with more dried fruit and citrus-forward warmth instead of smoke or heavy oak.

This is also a legit upgrade for cocktails when you actually want the Cognac to show up. Try it in a Sidecar (Cognac, triple sec, lemon), it’s basically built for that orange-citrus moment.

Fun Fact: The name “Cordon Bleu” literally means “blue ribbon”, a nod to a top-tier stamp of approval that stuck and became the bottle’s calling card.
