1. † (25498942/1) Delamain L'Édition Rare du Bicentenaire Produced and bottled in 2024 by Delamain, Jarnac, for its bicentenary (1824-2024). One of one. Accompanied by a pipette decorated by Maison Goossens. Filled to 9.5 liters. Cognac Grande Champagne, 43 abv 1 demijohn decorated by Maison Goossens and 1 70cl bottle in original wooden case (No. 000 of 200). L'Edition Rare du Bicentenaire is blended with five extremely rare Grande-Champagne eaux-de-vie, each selected by one of the last five Delamain family members entrusted with managing the House over the past century. This historically significant blend, a liquid ode to earlier generations and their gifted savoir-faire, is a special collaboration by Delamain's two most recent Cellar Masters, Dominique Touteau and Charles Braastad, with the remarkable project also marking the hand-over of the cellar keys to Mr. Braastad (a ninth generation member of the Delamain family) after Mr. Touteau's 42 years at Delamain and the pair's creative partnership of almost 30 years. Preserved in dame-jeannes (or demijohns) in Delamain's oldest Jarnac cellar, these five eaux-de-vie are amongst the Delamain family's most revered treasures, a liquid manifestation of both the history of the House and a unique accumulation of savoir-faire; inter-generational gifts that over 200 years have left the House uniquely positioned to craft the rarest and most exceptional cognacs. Maison Goossens Maison Goossens, a Parisian "Maison D'Art", founded by Robert Goossens in 1950, is renowned for its unique heritage and creativity in the field of silversmithing, from jewelry to small and large decorative pieces. On the occasion of its bicentenary, the House of Delamain called on the special expertise of the Goossens team to conceptualize and create a gilded overlay for an exceptional dame-jeanne that embodied the House's unique history and creative passions.
