COGNAC POETS & BIRDS - CRANE
Maison Camus wanted to pay tribute to the most elegant and refined animals of the animal kingdom, birds, by inviting the designer Janaïna Milheiro to combine her mastery of feather art with Camus cognacs.
The highest tradition of French creation has always been inspired by the wonders of Mother Nature, and no beast is more beautiful and inspiring than the bird.

Poets & Birds
Like a poet who sculpts and chisels her words to arrange her sonnets, using feathers, this Parisian artist has decorated eighteen carafes transforming them into Japanese Cranes, red Ibis and Phoenix. And Camus has composed three blends inspired by these emblematic birds, selecting and assembling cognacs according to their age and specificity.
The highest tradition of French creation has always been inspired by the wonders of Mother Nature, and no beast is more beautiful and inspiring than the bird.
With Poets & Birds, art combines and offers a magical, twirling creation echoing the refinement of Maison Camus.
crane
Cranes are long-legged and among the most elegant birds in the world with an imposing wingspan of almost two meters. Janaïna Milheiro’s work poetically suggests the graceful movements of these birds, especially at the time of their courtship, when couples perform jumps and bows to celebrate the love and fidelity of which they are the symbols.
Three cognac bottles have been designed by bringing the black and white feathers of the Crane to the crystal body, inspired by the balance, movement and dance of the Cranes.
Taste Profile
Color
The mahogany color with topaz reflections is an invitation to reflect on the four cognacs that make up this “Borderies single cru cognac” a niche cru that is highly valued by Master Blenders.
Taste Profile
Nose
A fine nose, rich and distinguished, that develops from notes of heady florals and fresh fruit, subtly blending exoticism and classicism.
The woody notes are notably elegant, while the spices serve to ensure a quick, spirited tempo, showing the complexity of this Borderies cognac made from Ugni Blanc grapes.
Taste Profile
Palate
Very soft on the palate, with a sensitive minerality that highlights the role of the Colombard grape. Elegant and dense, the palate principally wavers between candied citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and ripe fruit (pear, apricot).
Taste Profile
Finish
A deep, lingering finish wherein dried fruits (plum, apricot) and exotic fruits (banana, pineapple)provide a smooth interlude.
The undefinable charm of the Colombard, its mix of sweetness and resoluteness, has an immediate impact, while the spices (Sichuan pepper) and red tea re-emerge over time. Pure bliss!
"With Brazilian artist Janaïna Milheiro, Camus has designed a poetic, airy, graceful collection."
