Buyback of Martell Cordon Bleu | Valuations for White-capped Old Version, Centenary Flagship

Martell Cordon Bleu | A Century-Old Flagship Born in 1912

Martell Cordon Bleu is the brand's flagship, first launched in 1912 and now over a century old. The "White Top" (white metal cap) from the 1980s–1990s and the "Silver Band" (silver horizontal band design) from 1990–2005 are the two most sought-after versions by collectors, with resale prices significantly higher than the new blue bottle version released after 2010.

Acquisition of Cross-Century Versions

  • 1980–1990 "White Top" Cordon Bleu: White metal cap, dark green glass bottle, gold horizontal band with blue "Cordon Bleu" lettering, rosewood box with brass buckle.
  • 1990–2005 "Silver Band" Cordon Bleu: Transitional version with silver horizontal band, bottle still made of dark green glass.
  • 2005–2018 Old Blue Bottle with Gold Band: First version with blue glass bottle, gold horizontal band design.
  • Post-2018 Current Blue Bottle: Blue glass bottle with red logo, new gift box design.
  • Limited Crystal Edition / Pierre Hardy Collaboration: Limited release collector's items.

Cordon Bleu Valuation Logic

  1. Cap Color: White metal cap = 1980–1990 "White Top" old version (most valuable); silver metal = 90s Silver Band; gold/red plastic = post-2005 new version.
  2. Bottle Glass Color: Dark green glass = pre-2005 old version; dark blue glass = post-2005 new version.
  3. Rosewood Box Brass Buckle: A complete brass buckle on the old rosewood box can add 15–25%.
  4. Band Color and Lettering: The printing quality of the "Cordon Bleu" lettering and the luster of the band are criteria for determining the era.

Authenticating White Top and Silver Band

The old "White Top" version has an engraved "Martell" logo on the top of the cap (fakes often have embossed or no lettering); the swallow logo at the bottom of the bottle has consistent depth. The blue glass of the new blue bottle should appear deep blue with a purple tint under strong light, while fakes tend to be greenish. We recommend providing four photos: top of the cap, full bottle, bottom logo, and a close-up of the band.

Cordon Bleu Acquisition Process

The old "White Top" version is a high-premium aged spirit. We recommend having it valued with the rosewood box and fabric lining. WhatsApp clear photos of the top of the cap to check for the engraved "Martell"; our appraiser can instantly confirm the vintage. Payment will be made in cash or FPS after on-site bottle inspection.
