Adeline Loizeau
EDV & Wine Supply Manager,
Maison Martell 
Cognac, France

The small town of Cognac in Southwest France lent its name to a spirit renowned around the world. This is where Adeline grew up, enchanted by the region’s limpid and ever-changing light.

TRUST.

Since its creation more than three centuries ago, Martell has forged partnerships with the winegrowers and distillers of the region to select the best cognacs, which we blend and age to make Martell cognacs. In our archives we have records of our links with Laurence’s family that date back to 1892.

As with our other 1,200 partners, our relationship is based on trust and transparency, reflected in the day-to-day work with grapes in the vineyards and the wineries, where we share our experiences, our techniques and our expertise of the land and the market. Together we collaborate closely to ensure the longevity and sustainability of the Cognac terroir and the excellence of the spirit it gives rise to.

But what we have shared most of all over the years is an enriching, supportive human connection.
