How this product is made
Grapes and Wine: The Cognac is made from grapes grown in the Cognac region of France, primarily using the Ugni Blanc grape variety. After harvesting, the grapes are fermented to create a low-alcohol wine known as “eau-de-vie.”
Double Distillation: The eau-de-vie is distilled twice in traditional copper pot stills to increase the alcohol concentration and concentrate the flavors. This distillation process is a hallmark of Cognac production, ensuring a smooth and refined spirit.
Aging: After distillation, the Cognac is aged in French oak barrels for an extended period, a minimum of eight years for Martell Cordon Bleu. The aging process takes place in Martell’s ancient cellars, where the Cognac interacts with the wood of the barrels, developing complexity and character over time.
Blending: The heart of Martell Cordon Bleu lies in the blending process. Martell’s master blenders skillfully select and blend eaux-de-vie from various vineyards and vintages to create a harmonious and consistent flavor profile that is unique to Cordon Bleu.
Bottling: Once the perfect blend is achieved, the Cognac is typically bottled at a higher alcohol by volume (ABV) and prepared for distribution.”
