Camus have been operating independently since 1863 upholding the same uncompromising philosophy of a family five generations strong. Camus are craftsmen of an extraordinary passion, engaged in a relentless quest for the utmost refinement. They embrace the strengths of traditions, while remaining at the forefront of science to always reach new levels of intensity in the aromas of our Cognacs.
The patented ‘INTENSITY’ distillation method allows them to select the most aromatic fractions of liquid out of the second distillation, rich in esters and responsible for intense fruity aromas.
For the past 500 years the Borderies vineyards, Cognac’s smallest cru, have produced some of the greatest and most aromatic cognacs.
CAMUS Borderies XO Family Reserve is a Single- Estate cognac produced exclusively from the CAMUS family’s private vineyards. All the wines come from this magnificent estate, the largest in the Borderies area, with vineyards surrounded by forests and naturally preserved areas.
The CAMUS family ensures that the vineyards are cultivated in a sustainable way, preserving the environment and the wildlife. Each barrel is unique with wines from each parcel of the vineyards being distilled and aged in separate casks.
