Domaine La Prenellerie<\/b>, located on the clay-limestone hillsides of the Gironde estuary, has been producing Bons Bois Cognac since 1972. <\/span>Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Billonneau<\/b> continues his father\u2019s commitment to sustainable agriculture by beginning a conversion to organics in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why the stork on the front label? This migratory bird temporarily calls Domaine La Prenellerie home each year. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric fondly describes how he shares the vines and the surrounding land with these birds when they stop by. <\/span><\/p>\n

For the second edition, the amateur jury consisted of <\/span>Nicolas Gu\u00e9ho<\/b>, <\/span>Shane Pearlman<\/b>, and <\/span>Sten Spans<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This <\/span>Lot 83 Cognac<\/b> from <\/span>Domaine la Prenellerie<\/b> was selected by the jury for its high drinkability, balanced and well-composed nature, and its rich aroma and flavor profile on orchard fruit, cherry, and dried plums. Shane says the Cognac really \u201csmells great\u201d and picks up a unique note of dark chocolate malt balls (which he used to eat at movie theaters back in the day). He agrees with Sten\u2019s remark that cherry is a dominant note. Sten immediately picks out the forest-y notes, saying this Cognac makes him imagine an orchard in the Black Forest. He praises how \u201cpleasing and balanced\u201d it is and that the nose matches the palate. Nicolas, the jury\u2019s diehard rum enthusiast, gets aged stone fruit eau-de-vie, dried raisins, and claims this Cognac is \u201ca little bit like an Armagnac vibe.\u201d Harmonious, balanced, and drinkability were words that came up several times over the course of the selection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The jurors agreed it was an utterly drinkable spirit \u2013 hallmarks of mature Bons Bois Cognac. Don\u2019t miss this rare opportunity to experience a Lot 83 Bons Bois Cognac hand-selected by our enthusiastic, amateur spirits fans.<\/span><\/p>\n
