XO Extra Old. 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.
Martell 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.
