Martell Single Cru Borderies 1999 represents the quintessential expression of the Borderies terroir, which has been the signature of Maison Martell since it was founded. For this Vintage Edition, Maison Martell Cellar Master Christophe Valtaud has selected a remarkable Borderies eau-de-vie from the Gallienne estate, the emblematic vineyard of the Martell family.

The Colour – Light copper with golden highlights.

The Aroma – The first nose is at once rich and light, with notes of fruit and flowers, notably lemon, candied fruit and linden blossom. When the cognac is swirled in the glass, it evolves towards more intense floral aromas, complemented by soft spices (nutmeg, cinnamon), gingerbread, vanilla and subtle woody notes. The overall impression is of complexity, delicacy and finesse.

The Taste – After a full, rounded attack, the highly expressive palate develops notes of cooked and candied fruit, including plum, quince and fig. In the finish, refined notes of small nuts and honey prolong the sensation of balance and elegance.

A masterpiece for a masterpiece

Confident and assertive, this exceptional blend is made from some of the scarcest eaux-de-vie in Hennessy’s reserves, carefully selected and preserved in The Founder’s Cellar.

For this reason, Richard Hennessy cognac has been crafted in an extremely limited quantity: 12 tierçons, a historic barrel handcrafted in French oak by generations of cooper Masters at Hennessy’s own barrel-making workshop.

In a meeting of visionary minds, Richard Hennessy’s monumental legacy finds a contemporary incarnation in a bold, architectural, and graceful decanter in Baccarat crystal, as well as ritual accessories (glasses, a fusil, and a tray) designed by the world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind.

The result is at once intuitive and unexpected: a monumental tribute to a pioneer.The spices, notes of leather and preserved fruits appear and reappear over and over, returning to emphasise the aromatic complexity of the nose in one magnificent symphony of flavour.

APPEARANCE

Amber-yellow lit with glints of gold.

NOSE

The vivacity quickly yields to fruity notes of apricot, peach, gooseberry and wild strawberry. Floral aromas blend subtly with tones of vanilla and wood. The abiding sensation is pleasing and harmonious.

PALATE

What the nose promises, the palate provides. Delicate and balanced mouth, with fruits and wood flavours, and a grand vanilla finale.
