ABOUT MARTINGALE: A CENTURY IN THE MAKING Martingale Cognac is the result of more than 100 years of Cognac making tradition and craft. From the fourth-generation custodians of one of the most envied domaines in the region comes a new style of Cognac, which honors a proud family’s endless pursuit of excellence while pushing the boundaries of creativity. Martingale is fresh, fragrant, and refined; offering an exquisite balance of complexity and smoothness. Raymond Thomas—grandfather of founders Guillaume and Amaury Thomas—was a true entrepreneur; relentless, brave and undeterred by risks and setbacks. Martingale is a tribute to Raymond’s legacy and his belief in doubling down rather than backing down. The Thomas family has been making Cognac for over a century, supplying the most prestigious brands with outstanding quality product, and in doing so has built one of the largest vineyards and distilleries throughout the famed appellation. Their products have, until now, been enjoyed anonymously. The 2023 release of Martingale Cognac marks a very important milestone for this proud and determined family. The uniqueness of the liquid and packaging are testament to Raymond’s vision and entrepreneurial spirit, which lives on in his grandsons.
