Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac. Created in 1912 by Edouard Martell, the bottle became a legend in the world of Cognac as middle range Cognac. One must admit that it’s a rather a good “top 4 cognac brand” eaux-de-vie. A gentle giant.
The Cognac’s taste is dominated by eaux-de-vie from the Borderies area. The bottle authentic, not overcharged. This Cognac has a clear character and differs through a rather unique, balanced character.
Here are the Martell Cordon Bleu tasting note
The color: Amber bronze colour
On the nose: Elegant aromas and flavours of cinamon, flowers and wooden floral. Prune like, a bit of sweetness
The taste: A rich yet supple entry, very round some sense of vanilla, spice and citrus peel. Dense dried fruit, nut, sweet spice, chocolate, deep copper chestnut aromas and some roasted nuts.
The finish: a warm finish, some leather. Really solid.
The cru (origin) and the blend: Comes from different crus, but the Borderies area comes through a lot. More than 150 different eaux-de-vie blended.
The age: We could not find out.
The price is at about 110 €
The Cordon Bleu received a Gold Medal at International Review of Spirits Award.
This Cognac has seen some history: the Versailles contract in 1920, the inauguration of Queen Mary 1936, Orient Express in 1986 and the bottle is also a movie star: It appeared in films like Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now!

I have seen this in a shop for 30 Euro’s more than the Martell XO is it worth it?
I am writing from Malaysia. I like to drink & keep Martell Cordon Bleu. But i have few doubts. Hope someone can answer me.
1) How long does Martell Cordon Bleu can i keep ?(Out from Sun )
2) Any expiration date?
3) Why drinking 5 years old Martell Cordon Bleu is better taste than less than 1 Year old Martell Cordon Bleu.
Thanks.
Vincent, 1.) you can keep a Martell Cordon Bleu – if the cork is well closed, as it’s in a bottle for about the next 1000 years. It’s at 40% ABV so you don’t have to be afraid of that, it’s not like wine 2.) no expiration date
3.) the third question I do not understand. Could you clarify please?
I think this is the Best to drink!!!
Plenty of sugar in this one. The more the better?
Hi, i would like to ask what is the proper way to put a new bottle of a Martell Cordon Bleu? i should put it straight up or put it lay down like wine? some people say that if we put it straight for too long when opening time the cork will break easily, some even open until the cork broken and half pieces will even left drop into the bottle… so what is the best way to keep a Martell Cordon Bleu well and long and the cork will not broken? i was very worry about this problem because i have a few bottles which i have been keeping few years please help me with me problem……….

Hello, I wonder if someone could help me evaluate the value of a bottle of “Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac” that I have had since the 70’s if I’m not mistaken. It is a “Réserve Limitée No. F18775” 700 ml with 40% alc/vol. I am writting from Canada. Thank you for your help.
to Guy: it would be the easiest way if you share pictures of your bottle. therefore use the SUBMIT BOTTLE function (bottom or top of the page)
it’s pretty easy: just upload pictures, write down the information that is asked for, done.

I received a bottle of Cordon Bleu Martell Cognac #H03503 for my Birthday I was wanting to sell but do not know it’s value
Thank You
What I usually do is just buy it and drink it with a few other people in one sitting. Compare it to remy xo or hennessey xo. It’s not that precious, so don’t waste precious time researching and getting advices including mine.
