Launched in 1992, L'Or de Jean Martell is packaged in a hand-blown crystal decanter with hand-painted shoulders and gold plated stopper. The waves on the decanter are inspired by the undulating cognac vineyards. The bottle and jewel case-like gift box have a combined weight of 7kg.
L'Or de Jean Martell is a blend of some 400 extremely rare eaux-de-vie predominantly from the Grande Champagne area but with a high percentage of old Borderies, some drawn from the company's precious Le Paradis cellar with the oldest distilled in 1871.
