COGNAC POETS & BIRDS - IBIS
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.

With Poets & Birds, art combines and offers a magical, twirling creation echoing the refinement of Maison Camus.
ibis
Eudocimus ruber, the red Ibis in the descriptive and poetic Latin of the scientist Linnaeus, means ‘‘famous red bird’’, because the Ibis is well known and its beauty is legendary.
Three bottles around 30 cm in height and depth, transformed into Ibis by red feathers which, combined with the Baccarat of cognacs, emphasize at once the softness, lightness and robustness of this long-legged bird from distant lands.
Taste Profile
Color
With its “topaz color with golden reflections”, this Borderies cognac is strikingly fresh and youthful enough to make you forget the many years of barrel aging behind it!
Taste Profile
Nose
Its deep, distinguished nose is another distinctive trait. The more you savor it, the more complex it becomes. Fresh, candied, and dry, it features a great number of fruits: apricot, plum, Mirabelle plum, fig, grape, mango, and more. The presence of the Ugni Blanc is unmistakable. The spices are equally numerous: cloves, nutmeg, pepper, cinnamon, and cardamom.
Taste Profile
Palate
Extremely delicate, almost muted, on the palate. The palate evokes the sensation of taking a big bite out of a juicy fruit (white peach, mandarin). The palate leaves a fine film of quince jelly that is lifted with soft spices (cardamom, ginger).
Taste Profile
Finish
A return to its beginnings, radiant and dynamic. Its minerality can now be unleashed without restraint.
Delicate and nuanced, it lingers flavorfully on the spice bread and cardamom.
Thirty minutes later… the empty glass exudes a subtle woodiness (Bourbon vanilla).
"With Brazilian artist Janaïna Milheiro, Camus has designed a poetic, airy, graceful collection."
