We exclusively age our eaux de vie in fine grained oak barrels, in order to enhance subtly the delicate fruity aromas of our spirits, crafted from Martell specific distillation method.
When a barrel is called “Red”, a reference to the reddish color of aged wood, it has aged before other eaux-de-vie during at least 2 years up to 8 years, reaching the perfect stage of maturation for both the wood and the spirit.
For Martell VSOP aged in Red Barrels, our cellar master selected only these very rare “red fine grained oak barrels” to age this cognac, highlighting Martell specific ageing style.
Tastings.Com-Cognac, France- Deep copper color. Reserved aromas of raisins in cream follow through on a soft , slightly flat entry to a dryish medium body with toasted oat, hay, and mild spices notes. Finishes with a brisk pepper spice and white ash fade. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
