Delamain Cognac

Delamain is one of Cognac’s most quietly distinguished houses, specialising exclusively in mature Grande Champagne expressions. Founded in Jarnac in 1824, the maison has long been associated with an understated, refined style in which age, balance and aromatic complexity take precedence over overt oak or sweetness.
Rather than operating as a large vineyard-based producer, Delamain is known for sourcing exceptional eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne and ageing, reducing and bottling them in-house with great care. That approach has helped define a house style marked by finesse, length and clarity, with mature notes of dried fruit, citrus peel, spice and rancio carried with notable lightness.
The house remains closely tied to the Delamain family, with Charles Braastad, a direct descendant of James Delamain, leading the maison 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 rooted in the singular character of Grande Champagne.
