Camus VSOP Intensely Aromatic Cognac 750ml
DescriptionCamus VSOP Intensely Aromatic takes the house's revolutionary approach to new heights. This special expression emphasizes what Camus does best—capturing and preserving the maximum aromatic potential of their exceptional eaux-de-vie. The result is a VSOP that challenges preconceptions about what younger cognacs can achieve in terms of complexity and satisfaction.
The 'Intensely Aromatic' designation isn't mere marketing—it's a measurable result of Camus's patented Instensity® process. By selecting only the most ester-rich portions during distillation, they achieve aromatic levels up to seven times higher than traditional methods. The visual presentation hints at this intensity, with a luminous golden color that seems to glow in the glass. The nose is immediately striking—an explosion of floral notes led by violet and jasmine, followed by intense fruit aromas of white peach, pear, and citrus zest.
The palate maintains this aromatic intensity while adding layers of complexity. The texture is remarkably smooth and almost creamy, carrying flavors of honey, vanilla custard, and candied fruits. The Borderies influence is pronounced, with that characteristic floral elegance threading through every sip. Despite the intensity, balance is maintained throughout, with no single element overwhelming the others. The finish showcases the quality of the distillation, clean and precise while maintaining impressive length. Floral and fruit notes gradually fade into subtle spice and oak. This is a cognac that proves age isn't everything—innovation and technique can create exceptional spirits that challenge traditional hierarchies.
