The Cognac region is located along the Atlantic coast of Southwest France. Its unique climate and variety of soil types led to the creation of six sub-regions, or crus, where grapes are grown and harvested. It is from these crus that cognac gets its distinct variety of tastes.
The chalky soil of the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus produces floral cognacs that result in a lasting taste.
The Fins Bois and Bons Bois crus have hard limestone subsoil that results in round, supple cognacs with great body.
The Bois Ordinaires are located on a sandy soil and produce cognacs with highly characteristic local flavors.
Borderies is the smallest of the six crus and has a microclimate of its own. Vines in Borderies produce violet-scented grapes that are used only in the best blends. It is in Borderies that the Camus family has maintained its vineyards for five generations.
