Delamain Vesper Grande Champagne Cognac is a blend made from different old eaux-de-vie, aged at least 35 years. The 100% Grande Champagne cognac is brought to consumption strength by the gradual addition of “vieilles faibles,” very old, weak Grande Champagne Cognacs of 15 percent alcohol content. The eaux-de-vie used in this blend are selected from growers and distillers of the region, and every cognac is aged in a seperate barrel, then matured together, but longer than the Pale & Dry cognac. The procedure of ageing seperately, and then bringing the eaux-de-vie together, in order to age them together in one 350 litre Limousin oak cask is called “marriage”. This Delamain is by far superior to other expressions in their line-up.

Description

The House of Delamain was founded in 1762 and is currently one of the oldest names in the Cognac trade. The Delamain family has been living in Jarnac for more then two centuries and has been responsible for the continued independence of the firm and the preservation of its traditional heritage and value.

Delamain is specialized in blending old Cognacs, which comes exclusively from the distilled wines of the Grande Champagne area, the first and best growth of the Cognac district. All Cognacs are aged in well-seasoned French oak cask of 350 litres. Delamain’s cellars are located on the banks of the Charente river and are used for the slow, carefull maturation of Cognac.

At the end of the aging process, the Cognac is at it’s natural strength which has to be reduced to the fully appreciated 40% volume. Unlike many other houses, Delamain reduces the strength of the Cognac with faibles (weak Cognac at 15% volume) instead of the usually used pure distilled water.
