"L'Or de Jean Martell is an exceptional cognac created from series of unique encounters. It started when Jean Martell, the visionary founder of the House of Martell, set foot on the land that inspired him, and many generations after him. The precious union of Grande Champagne and Borderies created an unrivaled blend of elegance, power and richness. Over 400 extremely rare eaux-de-vie, some over a century old, come together in this prestigious cognac. Served in a hand-crafted crystal decanter, L'Or de Jean Martell keeps this tradition of rare encounters alive, an unrivaled sensory experience to elevate the moment.
"A veritable effusion of sensations marked by a light, sylph-like quality for all its length. Much like a familiar, melodious symphony of fresh citrus notes, fruit, gingerbread and precious wood, in which the senses answer each other in subtle echoes. Deep amber with hints of shimmering mahogany. The freshness of oriental notes: Bergamot and orange peel. Full-fruit harmony of dark berries and blackcurrants (bud, leaf and flower). Gingerbread notes: Clove and cinnamon embraced by sweet vanilla. Oriental forests: Woody notes of myrrh, undergrowth and rancio. Silky-smooth and subtle attack, followed by richer, more substantial flavours. Harmonious notes of blackcurrant and woodland undergrowth encounter tones of gingerbread and orange peel. The Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie bring strength and structure. An exquisite, lingering finish or 'peacock's tail' effect.
"An exceptional cognac to savour neat, for a sensory experience like no other." —producer
"Richard Hennessy is the embodiment of 200 years of the history, knowledge and expertise of the Hennessy Maison, with a unique blend of exceptional and rare eaux-de-vie aged from 40 years to nearly 200 years old. Each carafe is numbered and made of pure hand-blown crystal.
"Its beautiful amber colour, deep and warm, foretells its undeniable strength. Its aroma fills the nose with delicate nuances of flowers, mixed spices, nutmeg and blanched fennel. The power and depth of the aroma is echoed in the mouth, where the spices, notably pepper, play a key supporting role. Then the structure takes shape: leather notes gather, alongside nuts and candied fruits.
"Rare and precious, this cognac is a product of man's mastery over time. An unparalleled range of aromas gives Richard Hennessy its unique complexity. It is structured to achieve a perfect balance, and only once it is tasted does it reveal its true meaning. Powerful and unexpected, Richard Hennessy reaches heights that approach cognac perfection." —producer
