Martell XXO Borderies Single Cru Collection Cognac

An Exquisite Expression from the Borderies Terroir

The Martell XXO Borderies Single Cru Collection is a distinguished cognac crafted exclusively from eaux-de-vie sourced from the Borderies region, the smallest and most exclusive cru in the Cognac appellation. This expression showcases the unique characteristics of the terroir, offering a harmonious blend of floral and fruity notes that are both delicate and refined.

Tasting Notes

Appearance (Eye):
Golden amber with great brilliance and purity, reflecting its matured and rich heritage.

Nose:
The first nose is both fine and expressive, typical of Borderies, with a soothing sensation evocative of infusions (chamomile, marjoram, peppermint) and sweet notes of acacia honey and fruit jelly. When the cognac is swirled in the glass, it evolves towards a perfect balance between fruit, a hint of oolong tea, and the richness and power of cedarwood. 

Palate:
After a fresh, delicate attack, this cognac reveals notes of dried fruit (date, fig, apricot) and soft spices (tonka bean, green cardamom), providing power, structure, and character. Notes of rancio and a hint of blackcurrant emerge as the cognac evolves on the palate, creating an impression of gourmandise, harmony, and remarkable complexity.

Why You'll Love It

Crafted exclusively from eaux-de-vie sourced from the Borderies region, this cognac showcases the exceptional aging potential and aromatic richness characteristic of the terroir. The heavy clay-limestone soils of Borderies produce delicate and elegant eaux-de-vie, offering subtle floral notes along with pronounced hints of candied fruits, sweet spices, and honey.
