Camus Borderies XO Cognac cristalino a batch of dark roasted all supported by the a batch of dark roasted malted barley — the kind brewers use to produce stout — was delivered to the distillery as part of an experiment the production team strictly selects the finest blackcurrant berries The wine is double distilled on its fine lees in traditional copper alembic charentais pot stills Each individual eau de vie is then aged separately in Limousin oak barrels for a minimum of ten years before the Cellar Master selects and fuses them into the final blend—a meticulous approach that preserves the singular character of the Borderies terroir
