A historic opus, L’Edition Rare du Bicentenary celebrates 200 years of Delamain excellence through an extraordinary blend of five rare eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne.

Each of these eaux-de-vie has been placed in a dame-jeanne at its peak, reflecting their era, terroir and vision.
This singular creation, blended by Cellar Masters Dominique Touteau and Charles Braastad, seals a symbolic handover and embodies the purest expression of legacy, harmony and time. Five generations, five eaux-de-vie, one timeless cognac.

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.
