Cognac Camus XO Carafe

Introduction to Maison Camus & Camus XO Prestige

📜 The Camus family nurtures a deep affection for their Cognac land, a connection passed down from generation to generation since the house was founded in 1863. Through five generations of winemakers at Maison CAMUS, the brand’s core values have been carefully preserved. This father-to-son transmission ensures the continuity and flourishing of a unique expertise, deeply rooted in the soil, the vines, and the grapes.

Beyond their profound appreciation for the land’s products, CAMUS culture is imbued with an innovative spirit and an unceasing quest for exceptional aromatic flavors.

Origin & Technical Crafting

• Type: XO / Hors d’Âge Cognac – Prestige Decanter 70 cl, 40% vol.
• Blend: Multiple crus from the Cognac appellation, using Ugni Blanc grapes, with the most aromatic components selected from the Camus house.
• Aging: Long maturation in French oak barrels, with finishing in specially toasted barrels to intensify the roasted aromas.

Today, CAMUS revives the tradition of the art of the table by introducing a decanter of dazzling splendor. It moves beyond the artifices of labels and ostentatious branding to embrace elegance and aesthetics in their purest form. The deep amber reflections of the cognac it contains add a magical glow to shared moments around the table, whether during or after meals.

The new XO blend beautifully embodies Maison CAMUS’s unwavering commitment to achieving the deep aroma of cognacs. Its exceptional flavor comes from a maturation of at least 10 years in small, finely grained, carefully toasted oak barrels.
