Description

A flamboyant artistic collaboration with French designer Vincent Darré

For the Martell Noblige Limited Edition 2024, Maison Martell collaborated with the designer and interior decorator Vincent Darré. He is known for his flamboyant creations which draw on different styles and eras to offer a luxurious, contemporary vision of French decorative arts. When he visited Maison Martell in Cognac as inspiration for the project, Vincent Darré felt like an explorer discovering an unknown land. He describes it as travelling through time, thanks not only to the illustrations and accounts he found in the archives, but also to the place itself, with its strange and wonderful alchemy.

A fantastical encounter marking the Year of the Dragon

Vincent Darré drew inspiration from the Chinese Year of the Dragon in 2024 to create an intensely colourful and richly symbolic limited edition of Martell Noblige. The design pays tribute to the meeting of two cultures, represented by a magnificent, dazzling dragon – a symbol of power and good fortune – and an elegant, stylised swift, symbolising Maison Martell’s spirit of freedom. Maison Martell cultivates close ties with China, which date all the way back to its first shipment to the country in 1858. It is this historic connection between China and Maison Martell, East and West, which is told through the Martell Noblige Limited Edition.

In the evocative, enchanted realm created by Vincent Darré on the Martell Noblige bottle and gift box, ships laden with precious cognac are guided on their voyage from France by flying swifts, while two majestic dragons welcome them on their arrival in China. The rich red and gold hues chosen by the artist herald a prosperous year.
