Description
A perfectly balanced cognac, remarkable for its rich fruit notes and its combination of delicacy and aromatic power, aged in red fine-grained oak barrels. Martell VSOP is an authentic expression of the Martell Style : the fact that the fine-grained oak barrels are not new but pre-aged means that their tannins are even less pronounced, respecting the delicacy of Martells eaux-de-viet.
