马爹利臻选单桶典藏

When cognac-lovers and connoisseurs in the mid-19th century acquired their favoured cognac, it was traded not in bottles, but casks of fine-grained oak.

The tradition is honoured in a remarkable new collection of precious eaux-de-vie from Maison Martell, the oldest of the great cognac houses, exclusively offered in single casks.

Les Fûts Uniques de Martell is a truly singular release, exemplifying the House’s rich heritage and craftsmanship developed over 300 years of savoir-faire.

Every year a new selection will be offered, retaining the principle of a single cask of each eau-de-vie, with no eau-de-vie ever released twice.

For the inaugural offering, Cellar Master Christophe Valtaud has drawn four eaux-de-vie from the Réserve Héritage. This special reserve is marked for the quality and rarity of its eaux-de-vie and represents just 2% of Maison Martell’s library of 12,000 references.

Eaux-de-vie in Les Fûts Uniques de Martell are selected for their special connection to Maison Martell, produced either by members of the Martell family or the House’s most esteemed cellar masters.

Originating from the two most prestigious terroirs, the eaux-de-vie have been aged between 27 and 32 years in fine-grained oak casks, and looked after by successive generations of cellar masters until reaching aromatic fullness. This is expressed at a higher ABV than bottled cognacs, offering a singular tasting experience.
