Camus XO Prestige Cognac

Camus XO Prestige Cognac

Radiant, Complex, Uniquely Intense The pinnacle of the "Arts de la Table" collection.

The Camus XO Prestige is a celebration of the House’s relentless pursuit of aromatic intensity. Presented in a sleek, contemporary decanter designed to be the centerpiece of any social gathering, this cognac is a blend of the finest eaux-de-vie from the region’s best terroirs, including the rare and floral Borderies. It represents a modern take on the XO category, balancing traditional long-term aging with innovative finishing techniques.

The Intensity of the "Instants" Method

At Cognac Select, we highlight the technical precision that defines this prestige edition. Camus uses a patented distillation process that concentrates esters to a level significantly higher than the industry average. Following a minimum of ten years of maturation in fine-grained French oak, the blend undergoes a unique "atypical" finish: the cognac is placed into small, re-toasted barrels for a final period. This step amplifies the spicy, toasted notes and creates a bridge between the natural fruitiness of the grapes and the depth of the wood.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: A radiant, deep amber with intense mahogany reflections and golden glints.

Nose: Rich and exceptionally fragrant. It opens with an explosion of bitter orange and apricot, followed by the delicate scent of white flowers and exotic fruits. As it breathes, deeper notes of honey, toasted almonds, and a hint of deep cocoa emerge.

Palate: The mouthfeel is first silky with a honey-like texture and an intense florality, a direct result of the patented Intensity process. As it evolves on the palate, the character reveals sophisticated layers of spiced and toasted flavors, drawn from the unique finishing in re-toasted barrels.

Finish: Exceedingly long and warm. It leaves a persistent trail of vanilla and cinnamon, characteristic of the cognac's long maturation inside small oak casks.
