In the rarefied world of fine spirits, few occasions warrant as much attention as the bicentenary of a renowned cognac house. This year, Delamain, the venerable custodian of Grande Champagne cognacs, celebrates two centuries of unparalleled craftsmanship with a release that defies convention and ignites the imagination of connoisseurs worldwide.

The Pinnacle of Cognac Artistry

Delamain's "L'Edition Rare du Bicentenaire" is not merely a cognac; it's a liquid tapestry woven from the threads of history. This extraordinary blend comprises five exceptionally rare eaux-de-vie, each carefully selected and nurtured by one of the last five generations of the Delamain family. The result is a cognac that transcends time, offering a taste of history that spans two centuries.

A Vessel Worthy of Its Contents

In a stroke of artistic brilliance, Delamain has partnered with Maison Goossens, the legendary Parisian goldsmith, to create a vessel as extraordinary as the elixir it contains. The cognac is presented in a monumental 10-litre dame-jeanne, a true objet d'art that marries the rustic charm of traditional cognac aging with the opulence of haute joaillerie.
