THE WINE The "Part des Anges" ["Angels' Share"] is the poetic term used to describe the evaporation that occurs when Cognac is left to age in barrels. The term now refers to a yearly gathering, bringing the men and women of Cognac together for a charity event.

A very small stock of this Grande Champagne vintage Cognac remains, the last traces of a harvest that was truly exceptional in all senses of the word. The unique climatic conditions of 1970 resulted in one of the century's most spectacular harvests. This exceptional Cognac is not cooled in order to retain all of its organoleptic qualities, and is reduced to just 40°, thus returning to one of the Charentes vineyard's most significant periods. It boasts a rich amber shade, as well as a supple, generous nose that is very aromatic with hints of blackcurrant and lime blossom. Its finish is very pleasant, with a persistent earthy note. The Camus Vintage 1970 is particularly powerful on the palate, with tannins underpinned by and in perfect harmony with the aromas of the grapes and distillation. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Armagnac It's the distillate eau - de - vie based on wine from France, produced in the south - west of France, with over 700 years of history. Known for its therapeutic virtues during the Middle Ages. Around 1830, the only means of transport was represented by the waterways, so the commercial distilleries of Armagnac began to settle near the Baïse. The department of Gers became the most important French wine producer. However, the vineyards of Armaganc also suffered the scourge of phylloxera in 1870. Fortunately, the vineyard had new life at the beginning of the century. The decree of 25 May 1909 outlined the production area of the Eau - de - vie dell'Armagnac and its three regions, followed by the decree of 6 August 1936 defining the Armagnac “Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée” Bas Armagnac - VSOP Chateau de Maniban The VSOP designation indicates a minimum legal ageing of 4 years in oak barrels. Armagnac VSOP is a mixture of eaux de vie that have aged between 6 years in oak barrels in the cellars of the manufacturing company. Colour: Light and clear amber. On the nose: very natural and has a great and surprising freshness. Vol: 40% CL 70
