Christophe Valtaud, the ninth-generation chief winemaker of Martell, carefully selected the eaux-de-vie that can most faithfully present the terroir and unique flavor of each cognac producing area from tens of thousands of cellared eaux-de-vie, and carefully created the "Martell Single-origin Treasure Series", each of which comes from a single producing area. Fins Bois is famous for its red clay and limestone soil. The eaux-de-vie produced in this area is light in texture and has a refreshing and charming fruity aroma. It is full of the fragrance of fresh fruits such as pears and peaches. When you drink it, you can feel the lively and fragrant natural breath dancing on your tongue.
A nose full of vibrant citrus fruits such as lemon, pink grapefruit and clementine, followed by a fragrant fresh peach aroma, with an overall impression of elegance, refinement and freshness. The first sip is filled with the aroma of fresh fruits such as pears and peaches, and the sweet taste is like biting into fresh fruit.

still. When Jean Martell founded the winery, he paid special attention to the Borderies, which is the smallest and rarest grape producing area in the Cognac region. The grapes grown on the marginal silica clay soil give the eaux-de-vie a unique floral aroma and an exceptionally smooth taste. This unique terroir sets the tone for the elegance and refinement at the heart of the finest Martell Cognacs. Grapes ripened in the Cognac region are turned into clear white wine, which is then heated and boiled in copper stills and transformed into water of life. This is the process of distillation.
To ensure the purest taste, Martell uses traditional copper stills to heat the wine. As the boiling process progresses, the vapor rises to the top of the still, passes through the swan neck into the coils, condenses and forms a clear, warm liquor. Among the many outstanding Cognac wineries, only Martell distills clear wine to remove all sediments and impurities to produce extremely delicate and pure water of life with pure grape fruit aroma.
Martell insists on using only barrels made from close-grown oak, a unique feature that gives the eaux-de-vie a soft, balanced aroma, with notes of vanilla, dried fruits, red fruits, sweet and sour sauces and flowers.
Martell uses Tosset oak barrels. Tosset oak trees grow closely together, and each sapling receives less sunlight, which slows down its growth rate and causes the annual rings to be closer. The use of oak barrels with tighter growth rings gives the eaux-de-vie a softer and more delicate woody aroma.
