Delamain is one of Cognac's most quietly distinguished houses, specializing exclusively in mature Grande Champagne expressions. Founded in Jarnac in 1824, the house has long been associated with an understated, refined style where age, balance and aromatic complexity take precedence over prominent oak or sweetness.
Rather than operating as a large vineyard-based producer, Delamain is recognized for sourcing exceptional eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne and aging, reducing and bottling them in-house with great attention. This approach has helped establish a house style characterized by finesse, length and clarity, with mature notes of dried fruit, citrus peel, spice and rancio delivered with notable lightness.
The house remains closely connected to the Delamain family, with Charles Braastad, a direct descendant of James Delamain, leading the house and also serving as cellar master. Its range continues to focus on old Cognacs, from the classic Pale & Dry XO to rarer limited editions, all grounded in the distinctive character of Grande Champagne.
