Martell XO Supreme Cognac (1980s/90s Bottling) - 1.5L In Original Box
- Unit price
- / per
The Martell XO Supreme represents a prestigious chapter in the history of one of the oldest Great Cognac Houses, specifically designed to showcase the power and elegance of the Borderies region. This old bottling, produced primarily throughout the 1980s and 1990s, was the precursor to the modern arched Martell XO bottle and is highly regarded for containing a significant proportion of very old eaux-de-vie. Presented in its classic, wider-based decanter with a gold-trimmed box, the XO Supreme is celebrated for its remarkable smoothness and "rancio" character, a sign of extensive oak aging. Unlike younger blends, this vintage expression offers a deeper, more mahogany-toned liquid that reflects a traditional Martell blending style which emphasized floral complexity and a long, nutty finish.

Founded in 1715 by Jean Martell, this iconic house is the oldest of the "Big Four" Cognac producers and has spent over three centuries perfecting a style defined by elegance and finesse. Unlike many other houses that focus on power, Martell is famous for its intensive use of the Borderies growth—the smallest and most exclusive of the Cognac regions—which imparts a unique floral aroma and a silky, nutty texture to the spirit. The company further distinguishes itself through a specific distillation process that removes all lees (sediment) to create an exceptionally pure eaux-de-vie, which is then matured in fine-grained Troncais oak barrels to minimize heavy tannins. Today, as a pillar of the Pernod Ricard portfolio, Martell remains a global symbol of French "Art de Vivre," continuing to use traditional copper pot stills to produce world-class cognacs that are celebrated for their complexity and signature smoothness.
Collectors value the Martell XO Supreme as a superior example of "old school" cognac blending that is increasingly difficult to find in pristine condition. Because it was the flagship XO before the range was redesigned, it often contains older stock than its modern counterparts, providing a richer and more concentrated tasting experience. The classic presentation, complete with the original box, makes it a standout heritage piece that bridges the gap between standard luxury cognacs and the ultra-rare prestige carafes, making it a sound choice for both connoisseurs and those looking for a stable investment in French viticulture history.
