His great-grandson, Jean-Paul, continues this tradition between man and product. There is no showboating at Camus: the house has defended a beautiful authenticity that has been passed down through the generations for 130 years. The house has always been located on the Camus family's own property, at the Château de Plessis, in the heart of the vineyards, with about 100 hectares of vineyards in Grande Champagne and the Borderies.
