CAMUS CUVEE 5.150 COGNAC
Since Jean-Baptise Camus founded his company in 1863, four generations have followed in his footsteps to turn this small winegrower into a world-renowned Cognac house of distinction. Their family-owned vineyards are part of a magnificent estate, located in the very heart of Cognac. Independent Cognac producer Camus has revealed a new limited edition – Camus Cuvee 5.150, the fifth edition in Camus’ Masterpiece Collection, has been launched to celebrate the company’s 150th anniversary.
This extraordinary release has been designed as a celebration of the dedication of the five generations of hard work that have gone into bringing the House of Camus to where it is today. Five rare eaux-de-vie varieties from five different Cognac growing regions have been blended to create the Camus Cuvee 5.150 Cognac: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Fin Bois, Bon Bois and Borderies combined. The temperament of Jean-Baptiste Camus is represented by the nobility and the structure of Bons Bois; a generous Fins Bois eaux-de-vie has been selected to represent Gaston Camus; the Petite Champagne has been chosen to pay homage to Michel Camus, with understated elegance, and the persistence of a Borderies cru suggests the delicate passion and integrity of Jean-Paul Camus. Finally, a portion of Grande Champagne brings to mind the instinctive spirit of Cyril Camus, driven by a desire to take his family legacy further and higher.
The Camus Cuvee 5.150 Anniversary Cognac is a limited edition of 1,492 bottles. Designed by French sculptor Serge Mansau and made by renowned crystal artist Baccarat, this legendary vase holds a combination of five personalities that have brought the legendary Camus into life. A precious solid, pure black crystal that protects the perfect combination and blend of five premium eaux-de-vie. Each individually numbered and presented in a lacquered black case with a mirrored interior. The first 150 bottles also include a 100ml numbered sample, usually a set reserved for the Camus Cognac library. These miniatures are a rare opportunity to own the very last sample taken by the Cellar Master just before the decanters were filled.
