Martell — the XO tier expression from France’s oldest major Cognac house, drawing on Martell’s signature Borderies cru sourcing to produce an XO with the distinctive violet, nutty character that distinguishes Martell from the Champagne-cru-focused XO expressions of Hennessy and Rémy Martin.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartell XO continues the house’s century-long commitment to the Borderies — the smallest, rarest, and most characteristic cru in Cognac. Where other houses’ XO expressions emphasize the richness of Champagne cru aging, Martell XO’s Borderies component gives it a more savory, violet-inflected profile that makes it a genuine alternative rather than a direct competitor to Hennessy or Rémy Martin XO.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Violet, candied fruit, toasted oak, rich leather\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plum, walnut, chocolate, warm spice, dried fig\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warm, Borderies violet and oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHouse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Martell, Cognac, France (est. 1715)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e XO Cognac — Borderies-focused\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/martell\"\u003eMartell at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e or explore our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/cognac-brandy\"\u003ecognac collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does Martell XO compare to Hennessy XO and Rémy Martin XO?\u003c\/strong\u003e All three are XO-tier Cognacs but with distinct cru profiles.
