Product details
With each Zodiac Edition, Martell Cellar Master Christophe Valtaud builds on the essential and exquisite character of L’Or de Jean Martell while highlighting the qualities of that year’s zodiac animal. For the 2025 release, he made a scrupulous selection of very old eaux-de-vie from past Years of the Snake, combining them with the original blend – a symphony of over 1,400 eaux-de-vie from Cognac’s four finest terroirs. The blend preserves the intensity and elegance of the original cognac with extreme subtlety, delicacy and refinement. Rich nuances evoke the enigmatic personality of the snake, which is associated with courage, wisdom and caring.
Tasting notes
It opens with notes of citrus and soft spices. With a gentle swirl in the glass, the enigma begins to reveal itself through notes of mild tobacco and precious wood, while its fruity dimension evolves towards candied fruit, fresh blackcurrant and quince marmalade. The first taste sensation is one of plenitude and velvety smoothness, followed by bold citrus notes – courageous in their prominence. A generous and lingering finish recalls the snake’s caring qualities, while its balance of fruit and wood represents its wisdom.
ASSEMBLAGE DU SERPENT
In collaboration with Baccarat, one of France’s most revered manufacturers of fine crystal, Maison Martell created an object of sheer elegance for L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition – Assemblage du Serpent: a decanter echoing a single, pure drop of cognac. In a nod to the refined blend within, the mouth-blown crystal decanter is crowned by a red crystal stopper in the shape of a serpent’s head. The neck of the decanter, covered in 19-carat gold, is engraved with an intricate snakeskin motif and the edition number – one of only 500 – recalling its rarity. Nestled in a beautifully crafted red case decorated both inside and out with an interlaced snakeskin pattern, the decanter rests on a gold-tone pedestal finely engraved with tiny scales.
