Martell offers guided visits of its historic cellars and ageing warehouses, organized around a route through the cooperage, the paradise cellars where the oldest eaux-de-vie are kept, and a dedicated tasting room. The production facilities are extensive — Martell has access to roughly 4,000 family-owned vineyards in the Grande Champagne and Borderies crus, the most prized growing areas for cognac grapes.
The visitor experience is slightly more intimate than Hennessy and feels a little less corporate. The architecturally striking new blending hall added in recent years is worth seeing. Book online.
