COGNAC POETS & BIRDS - PHOENIX
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.
phoenix
The Phoenix is a mythical bird, with its home in the fertile imagination of men. No ornithologist willever study it. And yet everyone recognizes its unreal beauty: its claws are adorned with rubies and its neck is fine gold. At the moment of death, after 1,000 years of life, the Phoenix builds a nest of nard, cinnamon, myrrh and incense, lies down, setting fire to it, then burns, dies and is reborn in the beat of its wings.
This ‘‘firebird’’ has feathers of flames, and stirs our imagination. It embodies time, power and majesty. Its quest is an artist dream, which has inspired three poems of feathers and crystal at Maison Camus.
Taste Profile
Color
The bright gold color with aged gold highlights speaks to the earthy splendor of a Borderies cru that is firmly rooted in the homelands of the Camus family.
Taste Profile
Nose
The nose provides instant proof that this Borderies cognac’s reputation is well deserved. Delicate and balanced, it follows a course from plums to figs within a resolute framework of pâtisserie. It then becomes slightly mineral before bringing forth a range of spices, from nutmeg to pepper.
Taste Profile
Palate
Notably elegant, balanced, and confident, the palate is remarkable. Its sugar-rich fruits (pear, peach), its spices, its wood, and the minerality of the Ugni Blanc grape form a trio in perfect harmony. The epitome of the Borderies pâtisserie “style” (lemon tart).
Taste Profile
Finish
The finale of the Phoenix performance is a cappella: a rich, complex explosion of spices, fruits, and pâtisserie. It evokes a moment of pure emotion that continues to gain complexity with notes of vanilla, coconut milk, and exotic fruits (mango, pineapple).
"With Brazilian artist Janaïna Milheiro, Camus has designed a poetic, airy, graceful collection."
