The Camus Borderies XO Family Reserve (Old Bottling) is highly regarded for its unique profile. It is made from grapes grown exclusively in the Camus family’s private single-estate vineyards. This specific older bottling is prized for its rich texture and signature floral markers.
Appearance & Aroma
- Color: Deep, intense amber with brilliant topaz highlights.
- Nose: Highly aromatic and complex. It opens with rich notes of dried violet petals and white flowers, immediately followed by sweet pastries, vanilla pod, and a subtle undertone of damp earth.
Palate & Texture
- Texture: Remarkably velvety, thick, and creamy on the tongue.
- Flavor: A rich layer of gourmet notes including milk chocolate, orange zest, and candied fruits. This sweetness is perfectly balanced by old oak tannins, hazelnut, and soft baking spices like cinnamon.
Finish
- Length: Long, warming, and exceptionally smooth.
- Aftertaste: Leaves a lingering trail of dried fruits, elegant wood spices, and that distinct, signature Borderies floral freshness.
