As a famous family of foreign wine that appeared in China as early as 1842, what kind of wine can let the domestic media have a glimpse?
It is thin to describe such a profound and legendary wine only from the taste and color. The birth of a good wine is often the crystallization of the right time and the right place. Unveiling the mystery, let's interpret the touching connotation of this "Excellence" wine.
The tempering of time
"Martell Supreme" tells an extraordinary glorious legend: it is the peak representative of cognac brewing technology in the past 300 years. Since the birth of Martell brand, the founder JeanMartell has been pursuing perfect and excellent quality, and has strictly supervised and controlled every step of the brewing process. Within a few days, Martell was quickly praised by extraordinary connoisseurs, including Napoleon's housekeeper, the Austrian royal family, the Russian czar and the king of England. Martell became famous and loved by more and more people, and orders from all over the world poured in.
At present, Martell's masterpiece "Martell Supreme" is made from the purest "water of life" by double distillation, and it is the perfect crystallization of four major grape producing areas-big champagne area, small champagne area, excellent forest area and marginal area, which has been brewed in refined oak barrels for a long time.
The brewing of space
Cognac, a small town in southwest France, is located in the Charente River basin north of Bordeaux, a famous French wine producing area. Because the brandy produced in this area is famous all over the world, this small town with only 20 thousand people has gradually become famous all over the world and become synonymous with the name of wine.
The geographical environment of Cognac region is the best place to produce wine, and its soil, climate, rain and other natural conditions are very suitable for grape growth, so the quality of grapes produced in this region is also the best among wine grapes. 17 15 years, Jean Martell came to Ganyi Town to establish the oldest family in the world, and laid a solid foundation for this family with his ideas.
The picked grapes are squeezed by a traditional flat press, only the grape juice is squeezed, and the grape skin or the stone inside is never squeezed. The squeezed juice will be immediately stored for fermentation. Martell's unique brewing method is that only the precious wine core obtained by double distillation is used to brew the first-class cognac. In the long process of alcoholization, the "water of life" is gradually alcoholized in oak barrels-about 3 million bottles of cognac are volatilized from Martell's wine cellar every year and scattered all over the town. Martell, who pursues perfection, calls it "angel enjoyment".
Master's inspiration
The finished cognac is a mixture of cognac from different years. As for how to blend cognac, it is not only a craft, but also known as "the art of cognac".
"Supreme" consists of hundreds of kinds of "water of life", some of which have been treasured in Martell's wine cellar for more than a century. In cognac district, people call the cellar where the oldest precious wine is stored "paradise". Martell's "paradise" is ChaiJeanMartell, that is, "Jean Martell Wine Cellar". This mysterious wine cellar sleeps with extraordinary rare wines, some of which can be traced back to the 65438+30s. It is known as "the most sacred wine", and only a few people can enter, with great awe and humility. Martell bartenders use the "water of life" here to brew Supreme.
artistic expression
With the death of Louis XIV, the century of the Sun King ended. People began to enjoy luxury, release their senses and experience the beauty of life. At that time, JeanMartell was a well-known craftsman with superb skills. He is well aware of the essence of French culture, a supplier to the royal family and a master of spreading French fashion.
In that era of luxury and glory, jeweler Mellerio became a court jewelry supplier under the guidance of French Queen Marie de Medici. The porcelain factory of the royal porcelain supplier Sèvres has created many treasures for Queen Mary. The crystal bronze chandelier created by Bagouet is exquisite in craftsmanship and still shines today.
All artistic creations are not isolated, but nourish each other. All the artistic witnesses in the Sun King era are finally concentrated on this Martell Supreme.
Many people are keen on collecting containers of top French cognac, but the supreme shape still amazes well-informed collectors. Round crystal bottles, elegant porcelain and gold painting techniques, and bright pearl and jade designs are vivid memories of a distant era, which easily tell the elegance of France.
