Description

Description:

Delamain Pleiade La Rambaudie XO Cognac is an exceptional expression of the finest terroirs of Grande Champagne, created with over two centuries of the Delamain family's expertise in aging and blending Cognac. Handcrafted with a singular devotion to time-honoured methods, this XO Cognac presents a rare balance of depth, finesse, and complexity, ideal for connoisseurs and collectors alike.

Colour: A beautiful, rich amber hue with hints of golden mahogany that catches the light. The colour reflects the age and exceptional quality of the oak barrels in which it was matured.

Nose: Elegant and refined, it opens with initial aromas of ripe orchard fruits — think baked apple, pear compote, and golden apricot. This is followed by more intricate notes of wild honey, vanilla pod, and a delicate floral essence reminiscent of jasmine and orange blossom. This is followed by subtle layers of toasted almond, cedar wood, and a faint spice, hinting at cinnamon and clove.

Palate: Silky and lush mouthfeel that's smooth yet full-bodied, offering a balance between structure and softness. The initial taste provides a burst of complex fruit flavours, led by fresh plum and quince, which evolves into notes of fig and dried dates. The fruitiness gives way to more layered flavours, such as roasted coffee bean, rich dark chocolate, and a whisper of toasted oak. The expertly aged spirit brings forth a mineral quality and an earthiness that speaks of the chalky soils of Grande Champagne, lending to a grounded authenticity in each sip.

Finish: An enduring and multi-faceted finish that lingers on the palate with waves of gentle spice, honeyed warmth, and a hint of black tea tannins. As the flavours dissipate, a refreshing touch of licorice and mint subtly emerge, leaving a clean, refined aftertaste that invites another sip.

Delamain Pleiade La Rambaudie XO Cognac is an exquisite, finely perfected expression that will captivate both novice and seasoned Cognac enthusiasts. Its nuanced layers and lasting finish makes it a distinguished addition to any collection, and it pairs beautifully with dark chocolate or a well-chosen cigar for those seeking a complete tasting experience.

With depth, balance, and elegance, this Cognac exemplifies Delamain's mastery and Grande Champagne's unparalleled terroir, making it a standout fine XO Cognac.
