AGING: An irreplaceable blend of extremely old and rare pre-Prohibition eaux-de-vie
Le Voyage memorializes the historic travels of the Delamain family, which has been producing fine Cognacs since 1759. It comes bottled in a crystal decanter by Baccarat that is housed in a classic dovetail leather traveling box.
Like most Cognac houses, Delamain does not grow grapes but instead purchases eaux-de-vie from trusted grower/distillers who offer their finest spirits for evaluation after each harvest. The selected spirits are aged separately in old, 350-liter oak barrels called roux rather than new oak, which would lend too much tannin. After several decades of aging, the Cognac is blended, then allowed to age further to marry the flavors and textures of its components.
tasting note
This irreplaceable blend unfolds a series of subtle sensations, including the perfume of Russian leather, the musky aroma of the tropics, heady scents of tobacco from the Americas, coffee from Africa, spices from the Far East and the bouquet of grapes from the hillsides of Grande Champagne.
food pairing
The highest-quality Cognac is usually enjoyed after dinner as a contemplative drink. It should be served at cool room temperature or slightly chilled and allowed to warm in the glass, slowly releasing waves of aroma. Pour about 1 inch of Cognac into a thin tulip-shaped glass. Pause to smell the aromas, then take small sips to appreciate the Cognac’s smooth texture, its expressive layers of flavor and its lengthy finish. Cognac connoisseurs enjoy its aromas long after the glass is empty.
