A Tribute to Time and Legacy

Delamain’s L’Oiseau Rare is a celebration of heritage, patience, and the finesse of Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie. Released for the House’s bicentenary, this Hors d’Âge cognac is drawn from a handful of barrels aged between 60 and 85 years. Conceived by former Cellar Master Dominique Touteau and carried forward by Charles Braastad, it embodies a dialogue between generations. The decanter, adorned with illustrations of native birds by Jacques Delamain, underscores the family’s ties to both nature and artistry. Produced in just 200 bottles annually, it now stands as a permanent yet rare expression within the Delamain range.

Tasting the Spirit of Grande Champagne

The nose opens with delicate florals and ripe stone fruit—pear, apricot, and peach—framed by roasted almonds and a whisper of seasoned wood. The palate reveals layers of orange peel, cardamom, muscat, and cherries in eau-de-vie, unfolding with clarity and restraint. Nothing overwhelms; oak remains subtle, and alcohol is seamlessly integrated. What remains is quiet depth, elegance, and precision—hallmarks of Delamain’s vision for Grande Champagne at its most refined.

A Finish that Soars

The finish is poised and elongated, gradually tapering into dried orchard fruit and a touch of spice. Light yet persistent, it lingers with the grace of its long maturation, offering a sensation that is both airy and profound. True to its name, L’Oiseau Rare takes flight on the palate, leaving behind a memory of balance and rare harmony, a testament to time well kept.
