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. Predictions for a quality crop held true after the October 1969 harvest, and the fruity Colombard and Ugni Blanc wines offering good balance contributed greatly to the exceptional qualities of this Camus Rarissimes 1969 Petite Champagne Cognac. The precious oak notes of this venerable Cognac highlight the mysterious art of an ageing process which has successfully preserved the mineral purity of a manual harvest and the intrinsic qualities of an Eau-de-Vie. This Cognac was aged in new oak barrels almost half a century ago along the Charente river, in a cellar which has today become the Museum of Cognac. Golden yellow with supporting hints of amber. Aromas of precious wood float above floral undertones, followed by gourmet creamy notes. Mineral and yet dense, it softens into hints of dark chocolate, raisins and candied orange. This single barrel, bottled under Bailiff’s supervision October 1st 2014 after 45 Years in oak, drawing a mere 340L, bringing only 486 bottles available worldwide, all numbered.

Region Information:

Deeply attached to their Cognac land, the five generations of Camus family have succeeded Since 1863 in faithfully preserving the brand’s original values. This process of handing down from father to son now ensures the continuity and development of a unique expertise, with the cornerstones remaining the soil, the vine and the grape.

As well as a love and respect for the fruit of the land, the Camus culture is based on innovation and the quest for exceptional aromatic qualities – for above and beyond their role as businessmen the Camus’s see themselves as winegrowers, explorers and passionate lovers of taste.

Laid across 180 hectares in the smallest and rarest AOC cru - the Borderies - the Camus family has always been deeply involved in winemaking and distilling. It is this unbreakable bond between the land, the traditions and the people who live on it that helps them craft superb Cognacs. Today, it is Cyril Camus who is the bearer of all family tradition and oversees the undisputed quality of Camus Cognac. Export development and product development remain at the top, with a passion for innovation. Cyril Camus has entirely modernized the Cognac house’s interiors, relying on a fresh new take on Cognac for the new century.
