Delamain Pléiade Témoignage de M. Dauge Cognac

A Singular Testament to Time, Terroir, and Tradition

The Delamain Pléiade Témoignage de M. Dauge is an extraordinary single-cask cognac, part of the esteemed Pléiade Collection's Apogée series, which celebrates the pinnacle of aging. This rare expression encapsulates the essence of Grande Champagne, the premier cru of Cognac, and stands as a tribute to the dedication of Mr. Dauge.

Tasting Notes

Appearance (Eye):
Deep mahogany with copper highlights, reflecting its extended maturation and purity.

Nose:
An elegant bouquet of ripe fig and pear, complemented by buttery notes reminiscent of raisin bread, evolving into aromas of fresh butter and brioche.

Palate:
A refined and velvety texture unfolds with flavors of dried fruits, leather, and a hint of nutmeg, culminating in a lingering finish marked by subtle rancio and natural sweetness.

Why You'll Love It

Distilled in 1969 using a historic 6-hectoliter still, this cognac represents the final production from that venerable apparatus. Aged for over five decades in a sequence of casks starting in a 600-liter sequoia barrel, transitioning to a 400-liter oak cask, and concluding in 30-liter demijohns this cognac has developed a unique aromatic profile. Its maturation in a high-humidity cellar near the Charente River allowed for natural reduction and the preservation of its delicate, fruity character.
