To celebrate the Year of the Horse in 2026, Maison Martell highlights its special bond with this noble and freespirited creature. For Martell Cordon Bleu, the horse is represented in dynamic motion, symbolising the successful trajectory towards elevation of those who appreciate the Houses most iconic cognac.
