Delamain Introduces Folio Natura: A Tribute to Nature's Wonder Through Cognac

Delamain Introduces a Unique Cognac: Folio Natura

Delamain, with its proud legacy spanning nine generations, has launched Folio Natura, a new expression that stands as a testament to the deep-rooted curiosity about nature and its offerings. This innovative creation speaks to both modernity and tradition, establishing a unique space in the world of cognac.

A Rare Blend from Grande Champagne

Folio Natura is crafted exclusively from the Grande Champagne, recognized as the Premier Cru of Cognac. This particular blend combines three distinct grape varieties: Ugni Blanc, which forms the backbone of the blend (accounting for 98% of the region's vineyards), Colombard that adds a fruity richness, and Folle Blanche which contributes freshness and finesse. This careful selection creates a cognac that captures the essence of its terroir.

The Art of Aging

The process of maturation is as significant as the blend itself. Folio Natura is aged for a minimum of six years inside traditional 350-liter oak barrels. This slow and meticulous aging process reflects Delamain's commitment to patience and precision in crafting the perfect cognac. The result is a beautifully balanced spirit that mirrors the rich heritage of the Delamain distillery.

Flavor Profile

Folio Natura offers a rich and fruity flavor profile, beginning with delicate notes of white flowers and vine blossoms. It unfolds to showcase fresh fruit aromas highlighted by hints of bergamot and lemon zest. On the palate, the dynamics of freshness and elegance intermingle beautifully, accented by herbal notes of verbena and linden flowers, culminating in a long, refined finish that leaves a lasting impression.

A Nod to Natural Heritage

Inspired by the curiosity for natural life that has guided the Delamain family for generations, Folio Natura pays homage to the “Livres de Nature” — a natural history collection initiated by Jacques Delamain in 1930. The current cellar master, Charles Braastad, represents the ninth generation of the Delamain lineage and carries forward this artistic and intellectual heritage. Folio Natura epitomizes a tradition steeped in observation and discovery, a commitment deeply embedded in the identity of the Delamain house.
