When renowned artist and illustrator Christoph Niemann visited Maison Martell in Cognac, he came away amazed by the complex savoir-faire involved in crafting cognac.
In particular, he was fascinated by the fact that every glass of Martell Cordon Bleu contains more than 100 different eaux-de-vie, each of which is crucial to recreating its legendary taste, which has remained unchanged since 1912.
For the Iconic Drops limited edition, he conveys his impressions through a striking design made up of dozens of drops – symbolising the eaux-de-vie – gradually transforming into the shape of a glass.
