Cognac Camus – Royal Banquet

The Camus family cultivates a deep affection for their Cognac land, a relationship that has been passed down from generation to generation since the founding of the house in 1863. Across the five generations of vintners in the CAMUS family, the brand’s core values have been carefully preserved. It is this father-to-son transmission that ensures the continuity and flourishing of a unique craftsmanship, with its foundations firmly rooted in the soil, the vine, and the grape.

Far beyond their deep affection for the products of the land, CAMUS culture is imbued with an innovative spirit and an unwavering quest for exceptional aromatic flavors. This is why Camus has been honored with the status of supplier to royal and imperial courts.

Cognac Camus graced the tables of Tsar Nicholas II at the height of the Belle Époque, as well as those of King Gustave V of Sweden in the aftermath of World War II. More recently, Maison Camus was chosen by the King of Cambodia, Norodom Sihamoni, and by Prince William of Lobkowicz, a member of one of the oldest aristocratic families of Bohemia and the Holy Roman Empire.

Numerous monarchs, captivated by the elegance of Camus Cognacs and the splendor of their decanters, have personally offered them to their guests during discreet and refined receptions.

Royal Banquet embodies the result of 160 years of passion in crafting exceptional Cognacs by Camus. It is the outcome of a blend of highly rare Cognacs, with a precious portion originating from the family vineyards in the Borderies region. This initial union, already extraordinary, is elevated by the addition of a tiny fraction (less than 1%) of a Cognac from the Borderies, distilled over a century ago and patiently aged in oak barrels. The fusion of these two exceptional Cognacs goes beyond their individual qualities, giving birth to the Royal Banquet, a blend of unmatched finesse, more luxurious than any other Cognac of its kind.

Its color is a brilliant mahogany with golden reflections. On the nose, you discover complex floral notes and vanilla that evolve into roasted nuts and plum. The finish is spicy.

In the mouth, a dense floral bouquet evolves into creamy French pastries accompanied by flavors of vanilla, cinnamon, roasted hazelnuts, and finally, the intense aromas of leather and toasted oak.

Royal Banquet is showcased in an elegant case inspired by the safes and strong rooms where the jewels of royal crowns were carefully stored. Its production is limited to 12,000 bottles per year.
