Rooted in the heart of the Borderies, Domaines Camus covers more than 280 hectares. They are constantly reshaping and listening to their five plots of 190-hectare vineyards which defy superficiality in their dedicated search for the best cognacs in the world. Drawing on their strength from the diversity of their farmed soils to uncover the best results with both wisdom and precision.
To achieve all of this, Maison Camus’ main lines of work are simple and complex at the same time.
They primarily involve :
- Respect for the soil and listening to natural conditions which are a precious but fragile heritage, and whose balance alone makes it possible to express talent.
- The selection and multiplication of Ugni blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard incomparable genetic heritage whose finesse and diversity condition the purity of expression of a Borderies Cognac.
- The work of the vineyard makes precise gestures based on an ancestral know-how revisited, adapted and improved for 5 generations.
