Camus Elegance Cognac New Grand XO – 75 cl

Camus XO is a highly acclaimed, premium Extra Old Cognac crafted by the independent, family-owned House of Camus. To carry the XO designation, the underlying eaux-de-vie must be aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years. Camus stands out in the industry for utilizing a patented "Instensity" distillation process that maximizes ester selection to produce spirits with remarkable aromatic concentration.

• Camus XO Prestige: The signature brand expression. It is characterized by an amber color with mahogany reflections and an aromatic profile highlighting bitter apricot, orange, deep cocoa, vanilla, and cinnamon. It features a silky, honey-like texture on the palate.
• Camus XO Borderies Single Estate: A highly prized, limited-production Cognac sourced entirely from the Camus family's private vineyards in the Borderies cru—the smallest and most exclusive growing region in Cognac. It delivers a unique floral profile prominent with notes of violet, sweet pastries, and a velvety, creamy texture. 

• Decanter Design: Modern Camus XO expressions are housed in a striking, geometric square decanter. The bottle features cross-hatched lines representing the five generations of family ownership and is sealed with a gold-sculpted clover plug.
• Eco-Friendly Refills: Through their innovative [Re]Feel Program, consumers can purchase minimalist glass refill bottles to top up their premium decanter, maintaining a historic tradition of packaging reuse.
• Tasting Recommendation: Connoisseurs recommend sipping Camus XO neat at a temperature between 17–20°C using a traditional tulip glass to fully capture the complex layers of fruit, spice, and florality.
