Committed company
At the heart of the House of CAMUS, Les Ateliers Camus is the birthplace of the rarest and most exclusive cognacs.
This Cuvée, the seventh of its kind, is christened 4.186, a marriage of four powerful, complex yet elegant eaux-de-vies. The mysterious 186 in its name represents the sum of the years these cognacs have aged.
This year, as never before, we touch the empyrean where the gods dwell. Our Cuvée 4.186 is the rarest ever, produced as only 315 numbered decanters marked with the emblematic “Electrum”.
Cyril Camus’ ambition is to create a unique and non-reproducible composition of some of the most prestigious eaux-de-vie that are kept in the cellars of the House.
With this in mind, Julie Landreau - Cellar Master of the House of CAMUS - applies all her determination and perfectionism to the creation of exceptional rare vintage cognacs with a guaranteed provenance.
Combining floral, gourmet, fruity and spicy cognacs, she creates her recipes with meticulous care.

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.
