unglobalcompact.orgHere’s what I can share right now about L’Oiseau Rare.
- L’Oiseau Rare is a cognac released by Delamain Cognac as part of its bicentenary celebrations in 2024. It was introduced as a permanent, hors d’âge expression with a distinctive aging process in a century-old oak foudre, and is tied to the Delamain family’s Grande Champagne heritage.[1]
- The name honors Jacques Delamain, blending his interest in ornithology with the pursuit of exquisite Grande Champagne cognacs, and the decanter features a kestrel motif referencing the author’s bird portraits.[1]
- The initial launch timeline placed availability in selected premises and travel retail stores worldwide around July 2024, with an estimated price around €1,500 at that time.[1]
If you’d like, I can look up the very latest press releases, stockists, or tasting notes from 2025–2026 to confirm current availability and pricing in London or the UK. I can also provide a concise timeline of key milestones for L’Oiseau Rare if that would help.
