Martell Cognac is made in Cognac, France. The grape-growing area of Cognac is located near the Atlantic coast. This white, sun-blessed land has a mild ocean climate that encourages optimum growth of the region’s predominant grape variety, Ugni Blanc. The Cognac region is divided into six vineyard areas, or crus – Borderies, Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Fins Bois, Bon Bois and Bois Ordinaire. The crus are situated in concentric circles, Borderies and Grande Champagne at the heart. The soil within each area or cru has its own specific characteristics that give the eau-de-vie a distinct aromatic profile. Borderies, the smallest cru and signature cru of Martell, accounts for just five percent of cognac vineyards and is renowned for its elegant eaux-de-vie, dominated by notes of flowers and candied fruit.
