Delamain
For over 200 years and across nine generations, the house of Delamain has been driven by a limitless curiosity to craft Cognacs as vibrant, abundant and delightful as the terroir of Grande Champagne, Premier Cru de Cognac.
From writers and poets to botanists and ornithologists, each father would share the same fascination with the curiosities of the natural world around them. Situated in the town of Jarnac, Cellar Master Charles Braastad, 9th generation, perpetuates today a family tradition: combining the curiosities of time and nature to handcraft extraordinary and intriguing Cognacs.
Delamain joined the Comité Colbert in 2021.
Icon
More than a cognac, Pale & Dry XO has been the icon of the Delamain style since 1920.
PALE & DRY XO is a Grande Champagne cognac, premier cru of Cognac, without added sugar or colour. The aromatic intensity and persistence, revealing notes of flowers, apricot, citrus, and vanilla, contribute to the perfect balance of this unique cognac in the XO category.
The address
The House is located a few steps from the Charente river, described by Henry IV as “the most beautiful stream in his kingdom,” in the historic district of Jarnac. The offices and cellars are discreetly tucked away in ancient alleyways with thick limestone walls and roofs covered in the famous black fungus born from the “Angels’ Share.”
