For Martell Cellar Master Christophe Valtaud, the challenge was to enrich L’Or de Jean Martell without altering its essence, highlighting the rabbit's character. He enhanced L'Or de Jean Martell 1715 remarkable blend with eight very old eaux-de-vie from previous Tiger Years. It required several months’ work and outstanding expertise to preserve the elegance, richness and power of L’Or de Jean Martell, while adding the energy, vivacity and intensity associated with the tiger.
Christophe Valtaud accentuate the richness of the original blend, while adding energy and vivacity. As a result, L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition – Assemblage du Tigre has a more vivid attack than the original, and even greater aromatic intensity, while its exceptional length on the palate is marked by pronounced notes of red fruit and wood.
The Zodiac Edition is presented in the magnificent crystal carafe of L’Or de Jean Martell, exquisitely decorated with a gold filigree motif evoking the year’s zodiac animal surrounded by grapevines. The stopper of the carafe is a sculptural representation of the year’s animal crafted by the renowned French crystal manufacturer Daum.
