CAMUS Tribute to Nature Fire

85 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period, remarkable geological formations emerged (Angoumien, Coniacian, Santonian, and Campanian), which have had a considerable influence on eaux-de-vie.

Through the nature of the humus and its thickness, the composition of the subsoil, and the texture of the rocks, distinct terroirs were formed—bathed in the meanders of the Charente River and its tributaries.

Adorned with vegetal motifs dominated by lush vines, it evokes the richness of the soils that nourish the grapes. In a lacquered cabinet measuring sixty centimeters in height, a seventy-centiliter crystal bottle numbered 1/1 symbolizes Earth through its gilding.

The cabinet housing the cognac and its bottle is as precious as its contents. Each case is unique, hand-embroidered with fine stones that embody the power and beauty of the terrestrial elements. Each stone is a geological marvel shaped across the globe through the interplay of Water, Fire, Earth, and Air.

To embellish the interior of this case with satin embroidered with stones, the work of ten artisans was required, spanning between forty and sixty hours of craftsmanship. Thus, jasper, carnelian, tourmaline, yellow opal, obsidian, golden hematite, pyrite, yellow jade, citrine, and hessonite were woven into colored cotton threads and glass beads—creating a breathtaking result.
