L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition – Assemblage du Dragon

Rich Aromatic Complexity

As the cognac matures, its aromatic complexity deepens with spices and noble woods like Chinese cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, cedar, and sandalwood, adding inviting warmth. Earthy tones and rancio evoke the legendary Jean Martell cellar, where Maison Martell’s most precious eaux-de-vie rest. L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition – Assemblage du Dragon tantalizes the senses with a bouquet of fresh floral aromas like lily, lilac, and pansy, paired with tamarind, lotus seeds, and longan (or “dragon’s eye”). Dried fruits, nuts, and a blend of wild strawberries, blackberries, and blackcurrants enrich this aromatic tapestry.

A Nod to Immortality

The cognac’s remarkable length on the palate mirrors the immortal spirit of the Chinese dragon, a source of inspiration for Christophe Valtaud. Its distinctive aromatic balance conveys the controlled power of this revered mythical creature.

An Exquisite Collaboration with Baccarat

To emphasize the grandeur of L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition – Assemblage du Dragon, Maison Martell collaborated with Baccarat, the renowned French crystal manufacturer. They created an elegant decanter that mirrors the richness of the blend, featuring a sculptural dragon’s head as a stopper. The 19-carat gold embellishments and sleek lines pay homage to the pure cognac drop it holds.

A Flamboyant Display

The decanter sits inside a red metal case that opens like dragon’s skin. The bottle rests on a gold pedestal engraved with tiny scales. This masterpiece is set against a dramatic golden backdrop featuring intricate grapevine, barrel, and Martell swift motifs surrounding a Chinese dragon, symbolizing the strong friendship between Maison Martell and China.
