Family Legacy
is the latest creation from CAMUS, being shown for the first time at
TFWA World Exhibition (Blue Village F11).
The
idea behind Family Legacy is that it stands as a tribute to Living
Tradition. As Cyril CAMUS often says, a great cognac is born of a
father, a grandfather and a great-grandfather who were able to pass
on an ancient culture of the art of distillation and aging whilst
adding a touch of the contemporary.
In
creating Family Legacy,
the cellar master followed the methods used by all those before
him
to
select and blend this cognac – using expertise recorded in the
‘cahier de coupe’ kept since the 19th
century. This includes the recommendations of Edmond and Gaston
Camus who suggested aging in fine-grained, pale-coloured barrels.
Family
Legacy is blended with five different
crus – Grand Champagne, Petite Champagne, Bon Bois, Fin Bois and
the famous Borderies ant it is aged in French oak barrels to attain a
perfect strength of 40.8% vol.
Tasting
notes describe this
Cognac as a true expression of the marriage of luxury and seduction.
The nose offers round, smooth notes opening into velvety, complex
aromas of tangerine, violet and oak fading into labdanum (a
Mediterranean flower). The palate is described as rich and generous
with hints of crème brûlée and dulce de leche with a fruity
character. Dried fruit notes create a dynamic, complex staying power
with a balanced, lingering and elegant finish.
Presentation
is in an elegant decanter adorned with a multi-faceted Crystal
stopper, within a modern soft-touch gift box, making it ideal for
travel retail.
“ Family
Legacy honors the five generations of the Camus family, adhering to
the ancestral rules of perfect blending and the art of distillation,
whilst at the same time introducing a contemporary look and feel,”
says Frédéric DEZAUZIER, Camus brand ambassador. “This elegant
carafe is an ideal gift or self-purchase for the connoisseur of
Cognac looking for a rich, refined and sophisticated expression.
Family Legacy is an illustration of what Camus hopes to share as one
of the ‘ finer things in life’ .”
