Committed company
Like the Hussards collection to which it belongs, Fine Island cognac was conceived as a cognac of exploration and discovery, destined to shake up preconceived ideas about its appellation. Its profile allows one to approach cognac differently, through a maritime, saline, and deeply contemporary expression, while remaining fully anchored in the Cognac appellation and the expertise of Maison Camus.
Ideal on ice or in a cocktail, Fine Island is a cognac of movement and sharing. A blend that is simultaneously lively, round, and saline, embodying the adventure of the open sea.

Palate: round, fresh, indulgent, notes of caramel.

FINE ISLAND COGNAC
The Maritime
Imagine an island. Listen to the surf, the breath of the ocean as it weaves through the rows of vines, overturning the fruit and steeping the earth in salt and light. It is at the very edge of the Charentais appellation, where they say the vines plunge into the Atlantic, that our sea-legged hussar was born: Fine Island Cognac.
HEADED FOR FORGOTTEN TERROIRS
At the dawn of the second millennium, driven by its indomitable curiosity, the House of Camus ventured to the fringes of the Charente vineyards, where the Bois terroirs extend. Once considered lackluster, these lands were abandoned and forgotten by those who had lost the ability to see. Yet, for those who follow the whisper of the salty wind, they reveal a preserved vineyard, resting like a secret between the sky, the earth, and the ocean: the Île de Ré.
A VINEYARD AT THE GATES OF THE ATLANTIC
With barely five hundred hectares of vines, half of which are dedicated to cognac, the Île de Ré is in itself a unique micro-terroir in the world. Its limestone and sandy soils, its natural richness in iodine, its sea spray, its kelp, and its sea winds shape grapes of an extraordinary minerality, up to seven times saltier than on the mainland. Camus la Grande Marque has captured all the essence of this island territory to raise a cognac that disrupts the codes and displays iodine aromas with a vibrant freshness.
FINE ISLAND, THE COGNAC THAT SETS SAIL
Following its iconic Île de Ré cognac, Maison Camus sets sail once again with Fine Island, with salt on its lips and audacity as its only compass. A creation of the open air, whipped by sea winds, born from the vibrant tension between the lands of Charente and the Atlantic Ocean. Set a course for an even more vivid, more saline expression, tailored for those who prefer the horizon to well-trodden paths.
True to one of the gestures cherished by the House of Camus, a portion of the blend is distilled on the lees to preserve the richness of the primary wines and intensify their aromas. Fine Island draws a rounder, fuller, and immediately expressive attack from this.
But it is at the moment of blending that Fine Island takes on its full maritime dimension. While all the eaux-de-vie selected by our Cellar Master come from vineyards on the Île de Ré, one of them stands out for its indomitable spirit.
Born from a year battered by storms, when the ocean asserted itself even within the vines, it carries within it all the vivacity and boldness of a terroir pushed to its limits. From this encounter is born a fresh, saline, deeply Atlantic cognac.
Finally, a portion of the blend faces a final trial by fire. The Char method provides the finishing touch to this cognac, lending it a subtle woody signature. Here, the wood does not dominate: it envelops, it nuances, it reveals. It brings a toasted roundness, sweet spices, a hint of vanilla, and that patinated depth which transforms spirit into elegance.
Fine Island is not just a cognac marked by the ocean. It is an accomplished spirit, crafted with precision until it finds its balance between freshness, salinity, and woody roundness.
Thus is born a cognac of movement and sharing, at once lively, round, and saline.
A cognac that holds within it the breath of the island, but chooses the adventure of the open sea.
