Cognac Delamain is located in Jarnac, in Grande Champagne in Cognac . In 1759, James Delamain, an Irishman, set up as a merchant in Cognac. In 1824, his grandson Henri Delamain founded Maison Delamain. Over the generations, the successive owners have infused their Cognac with a part of themselves because in addition to directing the House, they were at the same time archaeologist, ornithologist, historian, writer, humanist, botanist. This openness to the natural and human sciences has contributed to revealing these exceptional Cognacs. For more than 20 years, the Bollinger family joined Maison Delamain, today they chair the company. The eaux-de-vie are entrusted to the good care of Dominique Touteau , the Cellar Master.
