Maison Martell is celebrating the Year of the Horse in 2026 by highlighting its special bond with this noble and free-spirited creature. When Martell is transcribed in modern Chinese, the first character – Ma (马) – is the word for horse.

For Martell Cordon Bleu, the horse is represented as it changes direction at speed, suggesting the successful trajectory towards elevation of those who appreciate Maison Martell’s most iconic cognac, while the colour palette is both festive and eye-catching. He Datian’s finely detailed drawings lend this limited edition a sophisticated, hand-crafted quality, making it a pleasure to give and a privilege to receive.
