This rare bottle of De Laage Fils & Cie Grande Fine Champagne 50 Ans d’Âge represents an exceptional piece of cognac history. The house of De Laage Fils, founded in the mid-19th century, was a respected producer known for sourcing and aging eaux-de-vie from the most prestigious crus of Cognac. Their name is closely associated with fine blends and long-aged expressions that today are prized by collectors for both rarity and heritage.
The expression 50 Ans d’Âge indicates that the cognac inside has been aged for around half a century, a level of maturity rarely bottled at that time. Composed exclusively of eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, the Premier Cru of Cognac, this spirit offers the depth, complexity, and finesse expected from long oak maturation. The style is rich and layered, with notes of dried fruit, rancio, nuts, spice, and a long, velvety finish — hallmarks of venerable Grande Champagne cognac.
The bottle itself carries a traditional presentation, with a cream label featuring the family crest and the mention Maison Fondée en 1856, underlining the house’s heritage. It is bottled at 84 proof, slightly stronger than the modern norm, adding to the intensity of flavor. The red wax emblem and bold red lettering of “50 Ans d’Âge” emphasize its prestige. This example also retains its original box, a rare survival that greatly enhances its collectability and authenticity.
Such bottles are increasingly rare on the market, particularly when offered complete with their original packaging and in well-preserved condition. This De Laage Fils & Cie Grande Fine Champagne 50 Ans d’Âge stands as a testament to the artistry of a historic cognac house, combining age, provenance, and presentation into a piece of liquid heritage ideal for serious collectors and connoisseurs.
