Committed company
4.160 is the new edition and sixth opus in the exceptional Cuvée collection, a very limited batch of 784 decanters only. Each individual eau-de-vie selected to enter the composition of our Cuvées has its own character. Each took as much time as necessary to age and reveal its true aromas.
CAMUS COGNAC CUVÉE 4.160 blend of certified age includes the following vintages:
- 65% of 1988
Summer 1988 was a hot season, and the early maturing of the grapes led to a very aromatic crop that was harvested relatively early in the season. It features superb, subtle, sweet and spicy aromas with notes of dried fruit, hazelnut and ginger. Both the length it has on the palate and the “rancio” are exceptional.
- 19% of 1975 mono-cru Petite Champagne
1975 was one of the driest years in recent history and this vintage makes it a powerful cognac with crisp aromas. The distillation on the lees provides high ester levels, producing a sweet backbone with hints of dried fruit like plums, plum jam and dried figs
- 14% of 1970 mono-cru Borderies
This 1970 cognac from the Borderies vineyards was aged in a dry cellar to achieve a 41.3% alcohol content. An intense floral bouquet of aromatic notes on the palate is backed by long notes of dark chocolate, honey and panettone, which complement the smooth creaminess of the Borderies terroir.
- 2% of 1973
This unique 1973 vintage was initially aged in oak barrels in a damp cellar. Its intense aromatic profile and tannin levels provide strong notes of cedarwood, cardamom and dried almond to the final blend.

enter the electrum universe
This vintage, the seventh of the name called 4.186, is a blend of 4 eaux-de-vie that are both powerful and complex.
and elegant. The mysterious 186 of its name corresponds to the sum of the years of aging of the cognacs.
Electrum as the alloy of gold and silver used by the Romans to mint their currency. Called green gold, when it comes from the hand of man, the alloy is then composed of 58.3% gold, 32.5% silver, 9% copper and 0.2% zinc.
Guided by this composition, Julie Landreau, our Cellar Master, created a unique blend whose proportions are similar to those of the precious alloy.
a box and a carafe
The box houses the iconic decanter designed by Serge Mansau for CAMUS and manufactured by BACCARAT. For Cuvée 4.186, it is decorated with a golden fret which recalls the color of electrum. It fits perfectly inside the box, in a location designed like a mold of its imprint. The box of the Cuvée 4.186 Electrum is decorated with an engraved stone facestone engraved with a quote from Virgil (70-19 BCE).
To magnify this unique blend, Cyril Camus wanted to highlight the long history of the land where the family business has been growing since 1863, spanning the centuries and linking the past and the present. The cultivation of vines in the Borderies dates back to Gallo-Roman antiquity, a time when men and women, goods and pieces of electrum circulated on the Via Agrippa.
It is therefore quite natural that the goldsmiths of Ateliers Camus, in collaboration with French artisans, designed a box opening along a line reproducing the route of the Via Agrippa, from Lyon to Saintes. Making the bold choice of mixing several materials with each other, here metal, a material at the service of modernity, meets crystal and stone, ancestral materials par excellence.
