A one-of-one 10-liter demijohn—“Dame-Jeanne” in traditional French parlance—of extremely old and rare cognacs dating back 100 years from the legendary house of Delamain, in a vessel crafted by a famed Parisian jewelry designer, is expected to fetch up to $200,000 in an online auction that just went live.
Dubbed L’Edition Rare du Bicentennaire, it contains the equivalent of several bottles of Delamain’s most precious eaux-de-vie. One of the most exclusive and expensive cognac offerings ever, the demijohn was created to honor Delamain’s bicentennial by jeweler Goossens. To accompany the debut of the demijohn and further celebrate its bicentennial, Delamain has also created 200 limited-edition bottles of the same blend found in the demijohn for connoisseurs worldwide.
