J&F Martell VSOP: Medallion Fine Champagne Liqueur Brandy Cognac
And another bottle for our “You’ve got a bottle?” section: A reader sent his Martell Medallion bottle. Any ideas?
(If you also have a bottle you would like to submit, please use our form)
This bottle was given to my mother as a present some time in the 1950′s in Australia, she is not sure exactly when. It was given to her by an elderly gentleman who said that it was already then quite old – the bottle of cognac, not the man himself!
Martell Medallion
The bottle and label are in good shape. There is no number anywhere that I can see on the label. The label says J&F Martell, Medallion Fine Champagne Liqueur Brandy Cognac, V.S.O.P. The seal and cork are intact, but again no number.
Further: Established in 1715 in the reign of Louis XIV. Bottled in France, 1 Pint.

We are looking for information about this cognac, age, if it is worth anything or has any value. Any information is much appreciated.
As always: Thank you for your comments!

True, but still it could have a certain collector’s value some people are ready to pay. The bottle can be 50 years old, but as you say correctly, the cognac doesn’t age anymore once it’s bottled.

Saw this cognac for 200 english pounds.
I have the same martell cognac. it has been in the family house for a very long time. I am willing to sell it if the price it right.
The labels states V.S.O.P. which means it had to be aged in a barrel for a minimum of 4 years. Fine Champagne is a combination of the two best growth regions in Cognac (Grande Champagne – the premiere cru and Petitie Champagne). Once a cognac is bottled, it no longer ages. So while it might have been bottled years and years ago, the cognac is still only a 4 year old Cognac.
