Tasting review

Eye: Deep amber with mahogany reflections. 

Nose: Sugary notes of honey, dried bananas, fresh figs and plums. Crystallized orange accompanies ginger, pepper, cedarwood, tobacco and a touch of rancio

Palate: Hazelnut and almond blended with raisins, ginger and nutmeg. Towards the finish, the rancio is more prominent, lifted by coffee, cedar and sandalwood.

Description

Camus Cuvee 4.176 Cognac: a Single Estate Masterpiece from the Petite Champagne

The second edition of the Camus Masterpiece Collection by Cyril Camus is the Camus Cuvee 4.176 Cognac. This exceptional release is composed of four eaux-de-vie, which altogether offer a combined age of at least 176 years – hence its name. All the eaux-de-vie have been sourced from a single vineyard owned by one family in the Petite Champagne region, where traditional methods are used to cultivate vines to this day. Each of the components in the blend was distilled off the lees in an antique coal-fired alembic still and aged in an unusually dry cellar. 

The youngest eaux-de-vie in the blend is 43 years old which means the Ugni Blanc grapes used for this expression were harvested upon the mixed, chalky soils of the Petite Champagne terroir up to the late 60s. This region is famous for producing well-balanced eaux-de-vie with rich fruity notes, and this complex Prestige Cognac certainly lives up to expectations.

Since Jean-Baptise Camus founded his company in 1863, four generations have followed in his footsteps to turn this small winegrower into a world-renowned Cognac house of distinction. Their family-owned vineyards are part of a magnificent estate of 280 hectares (691 acres), located in the very heart of Cognac. 

Presentation of the Bottle

The Baccarat Crystal decanter, designed by Serge Manseau, is as impressive as its contents. With a multifaceted, cutaway design, a woven decoration on the neck and an oversized crystal stopper, this is a bottle to admire time and time again. Only 980 exclusive decanters have been produced, each of them numbered and presented in a beautiful black leather box featuring the House of Camus logo on a gold plaque.

About Camus Cognac

Since 1863, five generations of the Camus family have cultivated a single-minded passion for crafting great Cognac with their own style. Laid across 180 hectares in the smallest and rarest AOC cru - the Borderies - the Camus family has always been deeply involved in winemaking and distilling. It is this unbreakable bond between the land, the traditions and the people who live on it that helps them craft superb Cognacs. Today, it is Cyril Camus who is the bearer of all family tradition and oversees the undisputed quality of Camus Cognac. Export development and product development remain at the top, with a passion for innovation. Cyril Camus has entirely modernized the Cognac house’s interiors, relying on a fresh new take on Cognac for the new century. Instead of leather, wood and velvet in shades of brown, he opts for light colors and a combination of tradition and modern design.
