L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition Assemblage du Cheval for New Year

— December 19, 2025 — Lifestyle
L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition Assemblage du Cheval is a limited cognac created by Maison Martell to celebrate the Year of the Horse. The expression is assembled by cellar master Christophe Valtaud using eaux-de-vie selected from previous Years of the Horse, drawn from the House’s oldest reserves. The blend is presented in a hand-crafted crystal decanter produced by Baccarat, featuring a sculptural red crystal stopper shaped as a horse’s head. Each decanter is individually numbered as part of a tightly limited global release.

The edition is accompanied by a separate Lunar New Year release of Martell Cordon Bleu featuring artwork by Chinese artist He Datian. That bottling applies calligraphic horse imagery across the bottle surface while retaining the classic Borderies-forward Cordon Bleu blend. Both releases reference the horse motif long associated with Maison Martell’s identity and heritage.
