Camus Cognac has been produced since 1863 by five generations of the Camus family; they strive to create exceptional cognacs by using highly aromatic grapes grown on their estate. With generations of production know-how, Camus ages its eaux-de-vie in small, toasted oak barrels before blending. The result is the recognisable Camus house style: an aromatic and elegant Cognac for the pleasure of those who appreciate the finest things in life.
Camus Ile de Ré
Camus Ile de Ré Fine Island is a Cognac like no other, the grapes are picked from charming sun-drenched, ocean-kissed vineyards, with a unique and distinctive marine taste profile deeply tied to its island provenance.
The island’s chalky and sandy soils contribute to the vigour of the vines while the natural abundance of seaweed (kelp) and wind-blown sea spray give the grapes a typically marine composition, richer in iodine.
The unique island climate, windy but warmer than the mainland, also creates the perfect environment for optimal maturation in barrels. The result is a smooth and balanced Cognac, with iodized notes that make it quite unique in the category, to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in cocktails.
