Own a piece of distilling history with this authenticated 1989 bottling of Delamain Pale & Dry Très Belle Grande Champagne.

-
Documented Provenance: This bottle is firmly dated by two physical markers: a “5.89” printer’s code on the original gift box (indicating a May 1989 production) and a molded “88” on the base of the green glass bottle.
-
Premier Cru Terroir: Sourced exclusively from the Grande Champagne district—the finest growth area in the region—this blend represents the pinnacle of elegance.
-
The “Purist” Philosophy: True to the Delamain house style, this Cognac contains no added sugar or caramel coloring. It was aged for an average of 25 years in seasoned Limousin oak barrels to reach its naturally “pale” color and signature “dry” finish.
-
Investment Grade Condition: The bottle remains protected by its original wire mesh and is housed in its period-correct textured presentation box. It features the historic Mentzendorff & Co UK import label, a hallmark of quality for spirits of this era.
-
Legacy Tasting Profile: This 1989 era bottling is known for a delicate bouquet of ripe apricot, vanilla rancio, and citrus zest, leading to a silky, fruit-forward palate with a sophisticated, powdery dry finish.
