King, Buddy Guy and Ray Charles, has become Europe’s leading blues festival. This year, Camus Cognac hosted Joe Cocker at the company’s chateau, where he performed classics, including With a Little Help from My Friends and You Are So Beautiful, with the style and intensity for which he is known.

Share Camus for the Holidays
 
For the 2005 holiday season, Camus will introduce two elegant gift packages featuring its signature Grand VSOP and XO Supérieur blends.
A gold-medal winner at the International Wine & Spirits Competition, Camus’ XO Supérieur is a blend of rare Borderies grapes and the finest eau-de-vie from the Cognac region. The result is a full-bodied taste of nuts and vanilla complemented by scents of fruit and hazelnuts – all contained in an exquisite crystalline perfume bottle. The holiday gift package, which features a 750 ml bottle of XO Supérieur along with two tasting glasses, will be a welcome addition to the private reserve of a true connoisseur.
Similarly, Camus’ Grand VSOP holiday gift package includes two balloon glasses along with a 750 ml bottle of the company’s best-selling blend. A blend of more than 50 individual cognacs from all the main districts, Camus’ Grand VSOP is presented in a stylish bottle that earned a prestigious French Design Institute Janus Award.
