Representing a modern revolution in Cognac, the Domaines Hine Bonneuil expressions are crafted as single-estate, single-vintage, and in this rare instance, single-cask releases that challenge the traditional blending paradigms of the region. Sourced exclusively from Hine's own 115-hectare estate in the heart of the Grande Champagne premier cru, the vines are planted in shallow, chalky limestone soils that yield exceptionally elegant and mineral-driven eaux-de-vie. This specific release, Lot No 3117 (Reference D0717) bottled in 2022, highlights the pristine purity of a single cask's maturation. Rather than blending for consistency, Hine celebrates the unique personality of this individual barrel, capturing the delicate interplay between the fine-grained French oak and the vibrant, floral character of the estate's harvest. It stands as a testament to Hine's uncompromising commitment to terroir-focused craftsmanship.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in Jarnac in 1763 and renamed Thomas Hine & Co. in 1817, Hine is one of the oldest and most prestigious houses in Cognac, France, celebrated for its exquisite, terroir-driven spirits. Situated along the banks of the Charente River at 16 Quai de l'Orangerie, 16200 Jarnac, the house is globally renowned for its exceptional single-vintage Cognacs, sourced predominantly from the premier crus of Grande and Petite Champagne. Hine's signature production philosophy includes the rare tradition of 'Early Landed' vintages, which are shipped to the United Kingdom to age in the damp, cool cellars of Bristol, resulting in remarkably delicate and floral profiles. Today, Hine continues to craft legendary expressions such as the Antique Premier Cru XO, Triomphe, and the single-estate Domaines Hine Bonneuil, maintaining an uncompromising standard of elegance that has earned them a Royal Warrant from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
