Martell Strana 1 z 1

Three Centuries of French Heritage

Martell is the oldest cognac house, with a history that began in 1715. Young visionary Jean Martell left the island of Jersey and settled in the town of Cognac, where he laid the foundations of a brand that became synonymous with French elegance. His passion for quality and precision defined a style that endures to this day.

A Tradition Shaped by Generations

After Jean's death, his wife Rachel Martell took over – one of the first women in history to lead a major cognac house. Her motto "The best, without pretense" became the brand's philosophy, shaping its identity for centuries. Martell soon expanded beyond the borders of France – first to England and Europe, later to America, India, and Asia. This made it a global symbol of French luxury.

From VS to Chanteloup XXO – Mastery in a Bottle

From the brand's portfolio, Martell VS stands out – a young, fresh, and fruity cognac, Martell XO – elegant and velvety with notes of fig and nuts, and Martell Chanteloup XXO – a masterpiece combining eaux-de-vie from the rarest reserves. These cognacs embody the best of tradition and innovation.

An Icon of Elegance and Innovation

Throughout history, Martell has been associated with significant events – its cognacs were served on the Queen Mary, in the legendary Orient Express, and on the Concorde airplane. In the cellars of Maison Martell, rare eaux-de-vie from the 19th century still exist, forming the liquid heritage of the brand. The modern era has also brought groundbreaking innovations, such as Martell Blue Swift finished in bourbon casks, and the luxurious L’Or de Jean Martell.
