2012 is the year of 100 years Cordon Bleu for Cognac Martell, time for a special edition of this rather famous cognac.
The new special edition is available from now, and the standard version is at a price of $1,338: It comes in an all new and fresh box. Then there is the limited edition, which is at a price of $3,828. There are only 600 of those available. The special thing about it is that there is a small bottle of pure Borderies cognac (see picture below).

Cordon Bleu is Martell’s signature cognac, with a good amount of eaux-de-vie from the growth area Borderies, that makes the blend unique.
Martell Cordon Bleu 100 Years Centenary Special Edition
With the slogan “100 years of infinite discovery of taste” Martell takes advantage of this occasion in order to launch a new special limited edition Cordon Bleu 100th Anniversary Centenary.

1912 – 2012 Cordon Bleu tradition
Cordon Bleu exists since 1912, and there were other “Cordon” Cognacs which vanished from the houses product line over time, such as “Cordon Argent” or “Cordon Black”.
The Centenary Edition comes in a gift box. See this video of the Asian Launch / Presentation.

“Luxury Fit For A King”
“…that makes the blend unique.”
Just think about the implication of what Martell is telling us here:
1. Any blend is unique isn’t it?
2. If the blend consists of 64 eaux-de-vie why don’t they offer us the best or the 2 or 3 best eaux-de-vies at this outrageous price?
One thing is for sure. The expesive packing & marketing campaign doesn’t make the quality of the content inside the bottle any better. Just more costly.
The $1,338 price tag seems expensive and way beyond the 100 Euro benchmark for regular Martell Cordon Bleu? What currency is this? USD?
It is all about marketing!
Impressive to give a bad product a life of 100 years!
Expensive marketing campaigns + designer bottles = less for quality content on the bottles.
To those of you working with Martell tell me: Did they add all that sugar from the beginning?
2012: Time for Martell to offer the cognacmarket a brut cognac? The sugar is hiding the quality of the product.
You do not want to hide the quality do you?
Or maybe you do…
