Lot presentation
Martell Of. Cordon Bleu Baccarat Decanter
The wine
Martell launched its Cordon Bleu cognac in 1912. It would go on to become a testament of important historic events, such as the signing of the Treaty of Versailles between Germany and the Allies on 28 June 1919. It was also served at the launch of the Queen Mary in 1936 and Concorde’’s first flight in 1977. It is composed primarily of cognac from Grande and Petite Champagne, the Borderies and Fins Bois. This special edition is presented in a crystal decanter designed by Baccarat, the famous manufacturer founded in 1764 with permission from Louis XV. We estimate this bottle to be from the 1970s/1980s.
