Camus

The Cognac House with its headquarters in the town of Cognac was founded in 1863 by Jean-Baptiste Camus under the name "La Grande Marque". He had already produced cognac before, but sold it to large houses. At the beginning of the 1890s, Camus acquired the partner shares and added his name to the company title. Since then, the company has been called "Camus La Grande Marque S.A." Since 1977, it has been managed by Jean-Paul Camus as president in the fourth generation, supported by his two sons Jean Baptiste and Cyril. The company is one of the few cognac houses to remain in private ownership. The estate comprises four wineries with a total of 100 hectares of vineyards, two in the Grande Champagne and one in Bordieres. Each of the estates has its own distillery. In addition, wines are distilled and matured by contracted winemakers under the strict supervision of Camus. The total storage capacity results in a volume of 30 million bottles.
