Camus 'XO Borderies - Family Reserve' Cognac

For the past 500 years the Borderies vineyards, Cognac’s smallest cru, have produced some of the greatest and most aromatic cognacs. Camus Borderies XO is a Single-Estate cognac produced exclusively from the Camus family’s private vineyards. All the wines come from this magnificent estate, the largest in the Borderies area, with vineyards surrounded by forests and naturally preserved areas. The Camus family ensures that the vineyards are cultivated in a sustainable way, preserving the environment and the wildlife. Each barrel is unique with wines from each parcel of the vineyards being distilled and aged in separate casks. The eaux-de-vie used to make Camus Borderies XO Cognac have an astounding aromatic intensity and a remarkable velvety texture. Produced mainly from the most prized vines in the Domaine’s Camus estate, the wine is distilled on the lees before its long ageing in oak barrels. Each step in the ageing process has contributed to and enhanced the already rich and complex aromatic palette of this Cognac from the smallest and most highly favored of the AOC crus. Produced in limited quantities, Camus Borderies XO offers a rare and exquisite tasting experience. Borderies XO is powerful, rich and creamy with a particularly velvety texture. It reveals intense sweet pastry aromas alongside notes of cinnamon, dried fruit, old port and violet. A hint of almond emerges in the long-lasting finish.
