Camus (cognac): description and reviews

Cognac house Camus has appeared thanks to the efforts of Jean Baptist Camus in 1863. In 7 years since the company was founded, Camus brandy won the hearts of Europeans, followed by the Russian market. Gaston Camus, one of the owners of this House, was in Russia regularly, with Emperor Nicholas II calling him on a hunt.

Interestingly, this French cognac house has a certain connection with Russia. So, in 1910, he supplied to our country about 70% of his imports. Almost 50 years later, a cooperation agreement was concluded with the USSR, which had been in effect for thirty years.

There were grounds for this: it should be noted that the house of Camus selects only the best part of the crop for its drinks, during the distillation of wine into spirits, a whole series of various family "tricks" are used. At the same time, any stage of the process of creating beverages is controlled by a representative of the legendary family. And the art of assembling in it is transmitted through generations - from Jean Baptist to Jean Paul, today's head, and his eldest son, continuing the tradition, Jean Baptist II.

It is interesting that until now the house Camus is a family independent enterprise, and this despite the interesting proposals for its sale, which are regularly received by Jean Paul. House Camus, as befits a large cognac house, offers a huge range of drinks. We'll talk about them below.
