Martell Noblige Cognac

Martell Noblige Cognac is a refined expression in the Martell lineup, positioned between VSOP and XO in terms of complexity and elegance. It’s crafted with a high proportion of Borderies eaux-de-vie, which lend it a signature floral and rounded character. Relaunched in 2006 with a sleek, contemporary bottle, Noblige is named after the French phrase “noblesse oblige”—a nod to its noble bearing and sophisticated style.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Dark gold with copper hues—rich and inviting.

Nose: Pear, prune, and lemon zest lead the fruit-forward profile. Exotic hints of vanilla pod and caramelized grape. Subtle floral tones and a touch of cedarwood. Underlying notes of myrrh and fine-grained oak, adding depth

Palate: Silky and structured, with a harmonious balance of strength and smoothness. Flavors of molasses, dried fruit, and blackened fruitcake. Gentle spice—cinnamon, nutmeg, and a trace of bitter chocolate. Slightly woody with a dry, nutty undertone

Finish: Long and satisfying. Lingering notes of vanilla, oak, and dried fruit. A touch of dry nuttiness and cedar for a clean exit
