Always in pursuit of creativity, perseverance for excellence
and independent state of mind, Martell created and launched
an outstanding cognac with a unique
taste, marking its inimitable style : Cordon Bleu was launched
in 1912 at the renowned Hotel de Paris in Monaco. It was,
and remains today, the purest expression of the Martell company's
flair for creativity, their pursuit of excellence and their
desire to lead, rather than to follow, the other cognac houses.
As Martell's flagship, Cordon Bleu has created its own
category within the cognac classification and appeals to the
true connoisseur.
Presented in the same understated and minimalist bottle that
it was launched in almost a century ago, Cordon Bleu stands
apart both visually and conceptually, conveying authenticity,
status, a sense of power and an elegant simplicity.
On tasting, Cordon Bleu reveals a uniquely pleasing balance
of intensity and roundness, the result of Martell's particular
and exacting distillation and ageing methods.
The story:
In 1936 Cordon Bleu was served on the Queen
Mary's maiden voyage across the Atlantic.
In 1957 Cordon Bleu was served at the presidential
