Camus - Saint Aulaye Monbazillac | Cognac

The primary ageing takes place, as per CAMUS traditional style, in fine grain small casks, this time specially chosen from the woods of La Double. These casks are lightly toasted and kept low in tannin content, to generate subtle oaky notes in the aged cognac and to allow a perfect balance of floral and fruity flavors to develop. The ageing takes place in one of the towers of Saint-Aulaye castle, monument built by the Lords of Saint-Aulaye, dating back to the XIth century. The cognac is then transferred in first-fill Monbazillac sweet wine casks of 225-liter capacity. These small casks allow a better interaction between the cognac and the wood to reveal sweet and smooth notes of Monbazillac in a topaz yellow amber robe.
