✨ Technical Specifications
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.
