Featured Product: XO Superior
Camus XO Superior owes its rich, harmonious flavor to 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.
For the 2004 holiday season, Camus is introducing a gift package that includes two crystal balloon glasses and a 750 ml. bottle of XO Superior, which earned a gold medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition.
