Camus Borderies XO Family Reserve Cognac

Camus Borderies XO Family Reserve is a single-estate cognac from Camus, the family-owned Cognac house founded in 1863. It comes only from the Camus family's private vineyard in the Borderies, the smallest of the Cognac crus, which has produced some of the region's most aromatic eaux-de-vie for five centuries. The estate is the largest in the Borderies, its vines surrounded by forest and protected natural areas, and the family farms it with care for the environment. Wine from each plot is distilled and aged in separate casks, so every barrel is distinct. Bottled at 40% ABV in a 700ml bottle, it shows the floral, violet-scented character the Borderies cru is known for.

Nose: Fruity and floral, with pastry and vanilla.
