Camus 'Rarissimes - Fins Bois' Cognac Vintage 1994

The ‘Rarissismes‘ range is a selection of the best single vintage Cognacs in the Camus’s Cellar, a pure expression of the year, coming in a very limited volume, for a guaranteed outstanding Cognac. For this 1994 vintage, July and August were extremely favourable to the vines’ development in the little village of Sainte-Meme, located around twenty kilometres northwest of Cognac in the famous Fins Bois cru. Rain in early September gave way to a period of warm, sunny weather enabling harvesting under exceptional conditions and producing rich and perfectly balanced wines. Camus’ Cellar Master chose precisely the right moment to halt the alchemy working between the character from distillation and the influence of the oak, letting the fresh notes of this Rarissimes 1994 Fins Bois which has reached its peak, express themselves. Intense gold. Luxuriant, fruity and fresh, it is both intense and delicately spiced with wonderful oak and vanilla notes. A delicate liveliness that begins with fruity notes to develop into flavours of tropical fruit. This is sourced from 2 small barrels, bottled under Bailiff’s supervision October 1st 2014 after 20 Years in oak, drawing a mere 568L, bringing only 812 bottles available worldwide, all numbered.
