Delamain Pale & Dry XO Grande Champagne Cognac (750ml)

Vinous
Review Date: 09/2019Delamain’s youngest offering, at 20 to 25 years old, is also one of the standard-bearers of Grande Champagne (the blend was created in the 1920s and hasn’t changed). Light amber, with a delightful nose full of pear, marmalade, quince and orange blossom. The pear and quince carry onto the palate, where a distinctive membrillo-like flavor emerges — a unique note I find in a number of Delamain expressions. There’s gentle spice and warm citrus on the palate, gliding to a long, delicate finish. The definition of elegance. (JW)

Notes
Delamain is perhaps the most British of all the great Cognac houses. Their Cognac is known for its light color and elegant dryness, so prized by the British. The Pale & Dry is made from all Grande Champagne juice, which has been aged for 25 years. Light in color and very elegant on the palate with a extremely smooth and dry finish. Ships in an oversized box.
