Spirits Review: Delamain Pleiade Early Landed Grande Champagne Cognac 1999 21YO

In today's tasting Wine-Searcher's Wine Director, David Allen MW takes a break from tasting wines to review a Latre Landed Vintage Cognac distilled in the year when Wine-Searcher commenced its operations, 1999. The Pleiade from the Revelation Collection. This 21 year old brandy (21 years from distillation to bottling) is bottled at 43.7% alcohol and is bottle no 175 from 294 bottled out of cask no 00/2020#2 , a 270 ltr seasoned oak cask that was landed in Bristol and aged there for just over 8 years before being moved to Liverpol to complete its ageing there, being returned to Janac in the Cognac region, to be bottled there. The brandy is unblended, no caramel was added and its alcohol dropped to 43.7% naturally so it did not need to be reduced by the addition of water. Delamain is one of the oldest houses in Cognac, founded in 1824. It sources brandy from partner distillers in the top-rated Grande Champagne zone to mature for an extended period of time – unlike other houses, Delamain does not produce a VS or VSOP Cognac. Cognacs are aged in old French oak barrels in cellars on the banks of the Charente, where the temperature and humidity is well-suited to the maturation process. After blending, the products spend a further two years in oak to marry together. Rather than using pure water to reduce the final product down to the final alcohol level, Delamain uses a combination of old brandy and water at 15 percent abv, to retain control of the process. The Delamain range includes a pair of XO Cognacs and several other extra-aged labels. Small batches of vintage Cognac are also offered, while Réserve de la Famille is a single-barrel, single-estate release.
