Camus Wines & Spirits will introduce the Marcel Amance range at the TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes (Stand number: Blue Village F11).
Marcel Amance was the property of the Maufoux family, whose successive generations from 1860 onwards are said to have dedicated themselves to producing fine Burgundy wines.
Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, 100% Pinot Noir, comes from the appellation Close de Vougeot, the internationally renowned Cote de Nuits vineyards. It has won a gold medal at the Citadelles du vin France 2012.
“This wine has deep raspberry robe,” Camus Wines & Spirits stated. “On the nose, it offers exceptionally aromatic intensity, with a combination of fruit (cherries and blackberries), coffee and liquorice.
“On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and fleshy with well-defined and elegant tannins and a beautiful acidity, while the body and structure are complemented by the wonderful length of the finish. A thoroughbred wine of great class, it remains very young for drinking, but with a superb future,” the company added.
Also on display will be Nuits-Saint-Georges, 100% Pinot Noir. This wine, which has won a silver medal at the IWSC 2012, comes from the village appellation Nuits-Saint-Georges.
“This wine has a magnificent ruby robe, with purple highlights,” Camus described. “The intense and subtle nose is dominated by red fruit notes (strawberry and blackcurrant). On the palate, the wine has well-balanced, solid structure, with red fruit flavours and delightful spicy notes. The finish is long and intensely aromatic.”

Chablis, 100% Chardonnay – a gold medal winner at the Concours mondial de Bruxelles 2012 – is intensely yellow with hints of green. “The nose is fresh and mineral, with lemony notes. On the palate it is fresh, powerful and well-balanced with touches of citrus,” Camus said.
Bourgogne, 100% Pinot Noir, which scooped a silver medal at the IWSC 2012, comes from the regional appellation Côte d’Or vineyards. This wine presents an intense ruby red colour with purple highlights. “The nose is elegant and dominated by small red fruits with a subtle hint of oak. On the palate, the powerful attack gives way to rounded fleshiness, characterised by red fruit flavours. The finish is long and full of fruit,” the company added.
Camus Wines & Spirits Marketing Manager Josselin De Gesincourt commented: “The demand for premium quality wines through airport retail continues to grow year on year, so we are confident that the Marcel Amance range will prove a successful addition to the range we currently have on offer.”
