In honour of the 2026 Year of the Horse, Martell is showcasing its unique relationship with this honourable and independent animal. The first character in the current Chinese transcription of Martell is Ma (üge), which means horse.
For Martell Noblige, the colour scheme is festive and striking, and overlapping pictures of a rearing horse vividly evoke the lively, dynamic essence of this cognac. This limited edition has a refined, hand-crafted quality thanks to He Datian's exquisitely detailed illustrations, making it a delight to gift and an honour to receive.
Fruity notes of citrus and pear underlie traces of softly toasted caramel and vanilla in the scent, which is a deep gold to the eye with vivid copper hues. The Noblige's unique woody scent is enhanced by years of maturing in fine-grained oak.
The Noblige has a pleasant, flowery taste that strikes the ideal balance between strength and ease on the tongue. Rich vanilla, prune, cedar, and caramelised grapes complement the distinctive floral flavours of Borderies' eaux-de-vie. Finally, the drink maintains a nice balance and duration while having a distinctive and rich finish.
