Martell VSOP Medallion Cognac
Cognac
Martell // Cognac, France
Martell's VSOP Medallion Cognac incorporates eaux-de-vie between four and seven years old, with the average age said to be closer to six years of age. The blend incorporates grapes from four of six Cognac crus, with an emphasis on the Fins Bois and Petite Champagne regions.
This is contrary to most of Martell's line, which heavily emphasizes the Borderies region. Note: This style is being phased out and replaced with Martell VSOP Aged in Red Barrels.

Tasting Notes
"The nose is largely dry and oaky. There's a background of red fruits, and the classic raisin-centric profile Martell tends to offer. The palate offers more red fruits, plums, prunes and raisins, along with brighter citrus, and more oak and spice. The finish is long and warm, oaky and spicy through to the end. "
