Originally from Jersey in the Channel Islands, Jean Martell founded the cognac house bearing his name in 1715. After initial struggles, including a bankruptcy, the company flourished and was soon exporting hundreds of thousands of litres of cognac to the UK every year.
Jean Martell married twice, both times into the families of other cognac traders who helped run the company after his death in 1753. Further marriages in 1795 and 1865 between the Martell and Hennessy families created an alliance that lasted until 1947, with strategic decisions taken together. Martell became part of the Seagram empire in the late 1980s before being purchased by Pernod Ricard in 2001. The company’s iconic Martell Cordon Bleu cognac celebrated its centenary in 2012.
Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, this is not comprehensive and is based on a brief overview. Most items will be described as good or fair, this does not mean it will not exhibit wear or tear. We do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen.
Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in any circumstance. All bottles are checked for authenticity by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.
No item is deemed new and may exhibit wear or tear, however many items are generally in good condition. If an item has notable faults, we will make every effort to mention these in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be on this page.
All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to provide a condition report or date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should not place a bid and notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
