L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition – Assemblage du Dragon

A celebration of Dragon

For Martell Cellar Master Christophe Valtaud, the challenge was to enrich L’Or de Jean Martell without altering its essence, highlighting the dragon's character. He enhanced L'Or de Jean Martell remarkable blend of over 1,400 eaux-de-vie, matured in 300-year-old oak barrels, with very old eaux-de-vie from Dragon Years. The result combines the intensity and elegance of the original cognac with warmth, generosity, and aromatic balance, evoking the dragon's controlled and benevolent power.

An explosion of sensations

L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition – Assemblage du Dragon opens with an explosion of fresh floral aromas which merge deliciously into intense and generous notes of candied fruit. As the cognac evolves, spices and noble woods heighten the sensation of warmth. Finally, exceptional length on the palate evokes the immortal nature of the Chinese dragon.

A magnificent and flamboyant design

A collaboration with Baccarat

Maison Martell created in collaboration with Baccarat an object of exquisite elegance: a decanter evoking a single, pure drop of cognac, which complements the richness and refinement of the blend within. The decanter, whose neck is embellished with engraved 19-carat gold, is crowned by a sculptural representation of a dragon’s head, completely unique and perfect in every detail. Released in extremely quantities of fewer than 750 individually numbered decanters.

Nested in a flamboyant cabinet

Inside a beautifully crafted box whose red metal doors are embossed with a pattern suggesting dragon’s skin, the decanter rests on a gold-tone pedestal finely engraved with tiny scales. This magnificent ensemble is displayed against a dramatic, gold-colour backdrop decorated with motifs of grapevines, oak barrels and Martell swifts around a flamboyant Chinese dragon.
