This three-day celebration explored the finest wines and rare spirits, with Camus showcasing its award-winning XO Borderies, its iconic XO with an engraved leather ring, and a rare Legion of Honor Private Collection.   The event, however, was not just a celebration of excellence—it also emphasized the industry’s commitment to inclusivity and mentorship through initiatives like the Alexa Camus Golden Vines® Spirits Scholarship, which empowers underrepresented individuals by providing recipients with specialized education in WSET Spirits, coupled with immersive training in Cognac, France, where they work under the mentorship of Camus Cellar Master Julie Landreau.   The Golden Vines® Awards highlighted the mission-driven work of organizations like the Gérard Basset Foundation and the Golden Vines® initiative, which aim to foster diversity in the wine and spirits industry. As Alexa Camus shared, “This scholarship is about more than education; it’s about creating a life-changing opportunity for those who may never have had access otherwise. It’s an invitation into the world of spirits, one that allows them to build a future and shape our industry with their unique perspectives.”   The event also featured a Golden Vines® Live Auction, raising funds to support these impactful programs, with highlights such as a one of only ten bottles crafted by Camus Cellar Master Julie Landreau and wine expert Lewis Chester DipWSET Tribute to Gérard Basset cuvée, which raised £14,000 to support future industry leaders.

Camus Cognac partnered with Davidoff Cigars for an exclusive evening at the prestigious Emory Hotel Cigar Lounge in Knightsbridge. Two exceptional creations took center stage: the Davidoff Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 and our Camus Cuvée 4.186. The evening spotlighted the Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 — Davidoff’s crowning achievement, featuring tobacco aged for an extraordinary total of 111 years. This rare gem offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience, much like our own Camus Cuvée Electrum, which is a blend of four exceptional eaux-de-vie totaling 186 years of aging. Guests were first introduced to the Davidoff Oro Blanco, paired with our signature Camus XO. As the night progressed, attendees enjoyed the exclusive tasting of Camus Cuvee 4.186 — a perfect complement to Davidoff's most prestigious cigar. Together, we celebrated the artistry and craftsmanship that define both Camus and Davidoff.

La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Grand Chapitre de France gala dinner, held last Saturday at the magnificent Trianon Palace Hôtel in Versailles, was a splendid celebration of French culture, heritage, and gastronomy. Themed around Louis XIV, the event embraced the richness of the French art de vivre, reflecting both culinary artistry and historic elegance. Beyond the lavish meal, the evening honored the long-standing friendship between Camus and the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, an association dedicated to preserving the tradition of culinary excellence. A highlight of the evening was the induction of two talented chefs (Thibault Nizard and David Coulomb) as new members of the prestigious Chaîne, further reinforcing its commitment to fostering outstanding talent in the culinary world.

Maison Camus revealed the latest marvel from the made to measure Ateliers Camus, L’Île Cognac, at Saison in the OWO Raffles London.

A select group of thrill-seekers embarked on an extraordinary tasting journey with the remarkable L’Île Cognac served through its deconstructed blend of four distinct eaux-de-vie. Meaning "The Cognac Island" in French, L’Île Cognac reflects Les Ateliers Camus' homage to Verne’s Propeller Island.

Welcome aboard l’Île Cognac! Les Ateliers Camus will take you on a magical journey into the heart of their boundless imagination with L’Île Cognac - French name for Cognac Island - the first chapter of their new collection entitled ‘’Voyages Extraordinaires’’, celebrating the adventurous spirit that Maison Camus shares with Jules Verne. Many travelers have a taste for islands; the intimate adventures they offer take place in an enclosed space where our sense of place becomes blurred. Setting out for l’Île Cognac, your imagination will be swept away into a new world via the three pillars of scent, taste, and sight. We know this voyage means leaving the mainland behind. A copper and black aluminum tray with a glass plate on top rises just over three feet above the ground. On it, three crystal decanters transport an intensely aromatic cognac, like immense balloons. This blend takes us on an exceptional journey through lush vegetation, teeming with trees and flowers… Let your sensations guide you! Discover three different types of glasses, turning three distinctive tasting experiences into a ritual for your senses, and a logbook for writing down your feelings and reading the notes written by the Cellar master herself. Île Cognac represents the mindset that guides Maison Camus’ every action: Make the best cognacs in the world and propose unparalleled experiences for the senses.
