Delamain: 200 Years of Excellence Celebrated with an Exceptional Cognac
Maison Delamain, an essential reference for exceptional cognac since 1824, is celebrating its bicentenary with a spectacular initiative. Two centuries of history and know-how are honored through the creation of a rare edition: a unique blend of eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, available in 200 numbered bottles and an exceptional demijohn.
Description
A Heritage Blend
To mark this historic anniversary, Delamain has brought together five rare eaux-de-vie, each selected and aged by one of the last five generations of the family. These treasures were meticulously assembled by the last two Cellar Masters of the house.
The Exceptional Dame-Jeanne
The centerpiece of this celebration, a 10-liter demijohn, decorated by Goossens, reflects excellent craftsmanship.
Design: Made from 245 individually shaped pieces, this artistic creation illustrates the link between art and the production of cognac.
Auction: This work will be on sale at Bonhams, from November 19 to December 6, 2024, for collectors and discerning enthusiasts.
200 Numbered Bottles
To make this cognac accessible to more enthusiasts, 200 bottles individually engraved and presented in oak boxes were created.
Box design: Adorned with a medal specially designed by Goossens.
Exclusive experience: Purchasers will receive an invitation for a private tasting with the Cellar Master in Jarnac.
The company, founded in 1824 in Jarnac, has ancient origins. It makes no reference to them, preferring to celebrate its anniversary with a certain elegance and without fuss. It makes a mockery of fashion and time.
Old ladies are coquettish. They sometimes hide their age. Take the Delamain cognac house in Jarnac, which is celebrating its bicentenary today. In reality, the business has much older origins, with deeper roots...
Its founder, James Delamain (1738-1800), settled in France during the reign of Louis XV. A Huguenot fleeing Ireland, he settled in Jarnac in 1762, where he rediscovered the land of a saintongeais ancestor and began trading in brandies. In 1763, he and his father-in-law Jean-Isaac Ranson set up the company Ranson & Delamain. With its twelve stills and solid commercial networks in Ireland and Northern Europe, the company prospered. Exporting to Dublin, London, Rotterdam and Hamburg, it was one of the most influential merchants in Charente at the end of the Ancien Régime.
So today, Delamain would be 261 years old, not 200? History is not that simple! The upheavals of the French Revolution, the ups and downs of the economy and the interplay of family ties all complicate it. When James Delamain died in 1800, it was his son-in-law, the young Englishman Thomas Hine, who took over the reins of the company, winding it up in 1817 and taking off under the banner Thomas Hine & Co. The Delamain adventure continued under the name Roullet & Co.
