Martell VS 40% 0,7l

Martell VS is the entry-level cognac of one of France’s oldest and most respected cognac houses. This expression perfectly reflects the house style, which emphasizes elegance, clarity, and freshness rather than heavy oak influence. The cognac is crafted primarily from carefully selected eaux-de-vie sourced from the Borderies cru, the smallest and one of the most distinctive regions of Cognac. Distillation is carried out without lees, a signature technique of the Martell house, resulting in a refined, clean, and approachable spirit. The eaux-de-vie are aged for a minimum of two years in lightly toasted oak barrels, allowing the fruit-driven character to remain at the forefront.

On the nose, Martell VS is bright and expressive, offering clear aromas of green apple and ripe pear, supported by fresh citrus notes reminiscent of lemon zest and subtle orange peel. As it opens, gentle hints of vanilla, soft spice, and light oak emerge, adding complexity without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, the cognac is smooth, well balanced, and direct, with a fresh fruit core and a delicate spicy undertone. The finish is medium in length, clean, and dry, maintaining freshness and balance throughout.

Founded in 1715 by Jean Martell, the Martell Cognac House is one of the oldest producers in the Cognac region. Over more than three centuries, the house has built a reputation for precision, consistency, and elegance. Martell has a long-standing relationship with the Borderies cru, which contributes to the distinctive floral and fruity character found across its range. By combining traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary vision, Martell VS has become one of the most recognizable and widely appreciated VS cognacs worldwide.
