Martell is one of the oldest cognac houses. Founded in 1715 by Jean Martell (1694-1753), it is part of the Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët branch of the French wine and spirits complex Pernod Ricard.
In 1715, Jean Martell founded his brandy trading business in Cognac, on the banks of the Charente River.
Cordon Bleu, created in 1712, is undoubtedly the company's best known reference.
In 1831, Martell created his first 'VSOP' (Very Superior Old Pale) cognac and continued its international expansion.
