Martell Cordon Bleu

品嚐筆記：藍帶馬爹利呈現深金銅色，香氣層次豐富，蜜餞李子與烤蘋果的果香先行，隨之而來的是摩卡、烤杏仁、可可與薑餅的溫暖香料味。口感圓潤滑順，豐滿的中段帶出李乾、葡萄乾、烘焙果仁和咖啡巧克力的綜合風味，收結長而帶香料與堅果餘韻。
生產說明：這款傳奇等級的干邑以高比例來自 Borderies 的 eaux-de-vie 組成，賦予酒款雅致的花香與獨特的焦糖、堅果氣息。
釀造與陳年：甄選多款長期在法國橡木桶中熟成的基酒，經過調和師細心拼配與氧化演化，讓皮革、雪松與烘烤堅果的複雜風味得以展現。建議以郁金香杯或白蘭地杯小口慢飲，倒入杯中靜置約十多分鐘更能開展香氣。
產地與土壤：來自 Borderies 與鄰近產區的基酒，該產區以黏土—石灰質土壤出名，促成早熟且香氣集中、口感圓潤的基底風格。無論搭配濃郁甜點或陳年起司，都能互相提升風味。

Tasting note: Martell Cordon Bleu reveals a deep, golden-copper hue and a rich, complex nose of candied plum and orchard fruit layered with mocha, toasted almonds, roasted cocoa and warm sweet spices. On the palate it is remarkably rounded and silky — generous mid-palate flavours of prune, raisin, black cherry, macadamia and a hint of coffee lead into a long, elegant, spice-tinged finish.
Producer notes: A legendary XO-category cognac, Cordon Bleu is built around a high proportion of Borderies eaux-de-vie that bring floral lift, finesse and a decidedly nutty, caramelised character.
Winemaking notes: Master blenders select aged eaux-de-vie and marry them after prolonged maturation in oak casks, allowing oxidative development that yields notes of leather, cedar and toasted nuts. The spirit is bottled at 40% ABV with a T-top cork closure.
Vineyard & terroir: Sourced from the prized Borderies cru and neighbouring areas, the eaux-de-vie carry the hallmark roundness and aromatic complexity of the micro-terroir — clay-limestone soils that favour early ripening and fragrant, textured spirits. Serve neat in a tulip glass, allow about 10–20 minutes in the glass to open, and enjoy with rich desserts or aged cheeses.
