This November, Martell, the world’s oldest of the great cognac houses, invites diners on a one-of-a-kind culinary journey with the debut of Flavours of Martell, a multi-restaurant gastronomy series spotlighting the art of pairing fine cuisine with exceptional cognac.
Running across two phases: from November to December 2025 and again in January 2026, the series brings together some of Singapore’s most visionary chefs: Chef Patron Michael Wilson of Marguerite, Executive Chef Nicolas Tam of Willow, and Chef-Owner Law Jia Jun of Province. Each will present an exclusive, limited-time menu that reimagines Martell’s legendary cognacs, from the iconic Cordon Bleu to the exquisite Chanteloup XXO, through bold culinary creativity.
A Dialogue Between Craft and Creativity
Rooted in Martell’s mission to elevate the way fine cuisine and cognac are enjoyed, Flavours of Martell unites chefs who share a deep respect for artistry, craftsmanship, and innovation. The participating chefs were flown to Cognac, France, for an immersive experience at Maison Martell, exploring centuries-old cellars, tasting rooms, and blending workshops to better understand the heritage and savoir-faire behind each expression. Their exclusive menus, inspired by this journey, reinterpret the spirit of Martell through personal culinary lenses, blending modern techniques with emotional storytelling.
