Through the Grapevine Camus Ile de Re 11 Year Bois Ordinaires Cognac
$134.50
Through The Grapevine is a collection of single cask bottlings of the highest quality Cognac, carefully selected by La Maison du Whisky. This range was created to showcase the incredible potential of small, independent producers located all over the Cognac region and to highlight the unique personality of each of the different sub-regions of the area, or crus.
This is a delightfully rich and full bodied take on the classic Ile de Re Cognacs, an utterly unique terroir of Cognac. The Ugni Blanc grapes are grown on the island, just off the coast of France’s Cognac region, about as far afield of the most famous crus of the Grand Champagne and Borderies as you can get. The result is a grape that has taken on some of the seaside character of its soil, with a hint of saltiness to it.
The Cognac itself, distilled on the lees, was aged in lightly toasted oak barrels for 11 years. It has a sweet and fruity profile, with aromas of caramel, peaches and mint on the nose. The palate holds notes of apricots, strawberries and oak, with a salty seaside element throughout. Bottled at the full strength of 49% abv.
