Camus Extraordinaire Cognac review and tasting notes: A very round and elegant cognac, rather rich, the body is full; a pretty complex nose. Some good hints of wood and honey.
Camus Extraordinaire de Camus is a cognac that you always see in duty free and travel retail. The bottle looks a bit old school, somehow very elegant and traditional - the inside is really solid (the cognac). It comes in a 700 ml bottle and is at 40 % alcohol volume. It really is a cognac difficult to buy, you almost can't get it in normal retail; you might need to take an airplane. This Camus cognac is a blend of several crus.
Since 1863, five generations of the CAMUS family have cultivated a single-minded passion for crafting great Cognac with their own style. With 180 hectares in the smallest and rarest AOC cru - Borderies - renowned for producing eaux-de-vie with an intense floral bouquet and excellent ageing qualities - the Camus family has always been deeply involved in winemaking and distilling. It is this unbreakable bond between the land, the traditions and the men who live on it, that helps craft superb Cognacs. In 2000, the House premiered with the first ever 100% Borderies XO Cognac. A solid success, it was to become the Camus signature Cognac, offering an outstanding combination of violet and vanilla spice aromas of intense velvety smoothness.
Camus Elegance range is a bold illustration of CAMUS’ Living Tradition with Cognacs that truly respect the original character of the eaux-de-vie and are remarkable for the finesse of their blends. In its ongoing search to explore the diverse regions of the Cognac appellation, CAMUS became the first Cognac House to capture the unique marine notes of the Ile de Ré vineyards. Raised and aged on the island, Camus Ile de Ré Cognacs typically offer fresh iodine notes with hints of dried fruit with archetypal mellow softness. Produced in limited quantities, they offer a rich and unique taste experience. Camus also proposes a Masterpiece collection of rare, limited cuvées, each consisting of a unique, exceptional blend presented in spectacular cases as well as Rarissimes vintages of most extraordinary Cognacs - certified under bailiff’s supervision and bottled without reduction, allowing them to express the full strength of their aroma and character.

Am one of your subscribers and note from your shop I can receive an alert when a cognac which is out of stock, once it is available again. I have tried this with Camus Extraordinair but probably have not yet caught up with the fact it is no longer available or will never be made again( accordingto the maker) so this means one has to search the world for old stock. My son was recently in Paris and he triedto source a bottle for me but met with no success. As he was going through duty free shops in Europe he alsohad no success. It might be an idea that your readers be made aware of the loss ! I don't have any reason for being such an "extraordinair" tragic but other cognacs do not do the same for me - maybe it's because I aman octogenarian ! Thanks though, for the interesting articles. Maybe your experts could suggest other cognacsthat are identical to Extraordinaire ! Thanks. Bruce
I bought it today in Puttgarden, Germany. They got it on bordershop.dk. But I'm afraid you cant order it online. I'll enjoy this liquid in the cold autumn, cheers ;-)
