Martell Caractère pays tribute to the daring spirit of our visionary founder, Jean Martell. As an immigrant to France, he founded the House from scratch at the age of 21, in 1715. He proved to be a discerning entrepreneur with exceptional strength of character, overcoming several bankruptcies to eventually develop his business into the leading prestige Cognac house it has been ever since.
