Camus VSOP Elegance isn’t just a cognac, it’s a masterclass in French refinement. Crafted in the lush Borderies and surrounding crus of Cognac, this bottle represents the house of Camus’ commitment to character, aroma, and clarity. It’s expressive without being loud, structured yet soft, a delicate balancing act from a family run house that’s been doing things their own way since 1863.

Camus VSOP Elegance Cognac 70cl
Brand: Camus | Category: Cognac – VSOP | ABV: 40% | Origin: Cognac, France | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Bright and floral, with soft aromas of vanilla bean, dried apricot, and white blossom, gently lifted by subtle oak and spice.
Palate: Round and silky on the tongue. Expect layers of orchard fruit, honey, toasted almonds, and a whisper of cinnamon, elegant and harmonious, with vibrant depth.
Finish: Long and refined. Delicate fruit and oak spice taper off slowly, leaving behind a clean and sophisticated warmth.

Production Details:
Camus VSOP is made with eaux-de-vie primarily from the Borderies cru, the smallest and most aromatic of Cognac’s regions. Aged in lightly toasted fine-grain French oak barrels, it’s blended to preserve natural aromatic intensity. What sets Camus apart is their use of “intensity distillation,” capturing more floral and fruity volatiles for a fuller nose and brighter flavor, a signature of their house style.

Perfect For:
This is your fireside sipper, your slow jazz and leather chair pour. Whether neat in a tulip glass or with a splash of water to open it up, it’s ideal for evenings where the pace slows and the moment matters.

Expert Notes:
Camus VSOP has earned respect for its aromatic precision and smooth complexity. While other houses go heavy on wood, Camus leans into balance, making it an excellent entry point for new cognac drinkers and a favorite among seasoned connoisseurs who crave finesse over firepower.

Interesting Fact:
