HOUSE OF DELAMAIN RELEASES SOARING NEW GRANDE CHAMPAGNE COGNAC: L'OISEAU RARE
L'Oiseau Rare, or rare bird, is a soaring blend of eaux-de-vie that were singled out twice: first for their individual potential, spending long periods fully evolving their unique personalities, then again to be blended together for another decades-long period of ageing in a specially crafted "foudre" – a century-old seasoned oak vat that sits in the Grand Chai in Jarnac. Time, cellar conditions and the blender's art together promote the concentration of aromas and the perfect harmonious blend that is….L'Oiseau Rare.
Commenting on this latest addition to the range, Charles Braastad , Delamain's Cellar Master noted: "This exceptional blend was created by Dominique Touteau, Delamain's former Cellar Master, crowning his 40-year career. There are so many wonderous elements at work in this blend. The extraordinary individual qualities of the eaux-de-vies, the opportunity to imagine how these individual talents could be brought together in a symphony. It is a privilege to continue this blend in the wake of Dominique Touteau's legacy and to launch this exceptional cognac in the year of our Bicentenary."
In addition to describing this elegant cognac's uniqueness, the name pays tribute to Jacques Delamain , a cognac visionary who wove together passions for the natural world (in particular ornithology) and a pursuit of ethereal Grande Champagne cognacs. A scholar and prolific writer, in addition to the co-creator of the iconic X.O Pale & Dry, Jacques laid down the foundations of the family philosophy: one that blends an unyielding fascination with the natural world with the crafting of transcendent cognacs. It is Jacques's vision, perhaps more than any other, that after two centuries leaves Delamain a house apart…a .
Founded in 1824, the House of Delamain embraces a nine-generation legacy of impassioned curiosity as to the natural world and the possibilities inherent in an enlightened partnership with its own special terroir.
Specializing in Grande Champagne, cognac's finest cru and terroir, and employing a savoir-faire passed down across two centuries, the House of Delamain guides elegant and delicate eaux-de-vie during their journey traversing historic and atmospherically influential cellars (those cellars, in a sense, their second terroir).
Striving for excellence at every stage of the lengthy lifecycle, the House of Delamain adopts an artisanal and non-interventionist approach, respectful of natural processes and time, in order to create transcendent cognacs.
