Camus ‘Ile de Re – Cliffside Cellar’ Cognac
RM338.0
‘Ile de Re‘, is a tiny Island, situated just off La Rochelle, a coastal city about 100km from the Village of Cognac. The Island forms a part of the Bois a Terroirs Cognac appellation, yet historically no grapes where grown there in a long time until Maison Camus took the initiative in the early 2000 to plant some and crafting Cognacs from it. The grapes naturally contain more iodine than those harvested on the continent. In addition, the mild climate of the island helps to forge a very specific character.
Produced in limited quantities, Cliffside Cellar enjoys a double aging on the island. Its first aging takes place in barrels with light tannins and the second is within the Fort de La Pree, a historic monument constructed in 1626 overlooking the ocean. Bathed in the spray of the Atlantic Ocean whose waves reach within meters of the cellar, the aging location of Ile de Re Cliffside Cellar gives the Cognac an exceptionally round and decidedly oceanic character.
Wonderful amber yellow appearance with hints of orange. The nose reveals complex spicy notes with hints of vanilla. On the palate the Cliffside Cellar is remarkably mellow, with touches of orange and dried grape. This sweetness is accented by the subtle saltiness of the iodine notes, for a deliciously original sensation. Equally enjoyable as an aperitif or post-meal drink, straight or with a few drops of mineral water. To enjoy the full range of aromas that this cognac has to offer, we recommend chilling it and then tasting it continuously as its temperature rises.
