Martell, L'Or de Jean Assemblage du Lapin Cognac
Maison Martell marked Chinese New Year with Assemblage du Lapin, a limited Zodiac Edition release celebrating the Year of the Rabbit. The crystal decanter contained L’Or de Jean Martell 1715, the house’s most prestigious blend, enhanced with rare eaux-de-vie distilled in previous Years of the Rabbit. Crafted by Daum and capped with a rabbit-shaped stopper, the release paired symbolism with substance, adding sweetness and length to one of Cognac’s most complex blends.
