Description

What makes a cognac legendary enough to remain unchanged for over a century?

Martell Cordon Bleu X.O stands as the world’s first mass-market premium cognac, created in 1912 and launched at Monaco’s prestigious Hôtel de Paris. This XO expression distinguishes itself with an exceptional 50% Borderies eaux-de-vie composition, unlike typical Grand Champagne-led cognacs. Our collection features premium alternatives including Hennessy X.O and Martell XO Brandy for discerning collectors.
