The 2nd release of Hine’s single-estate (Grande Champagne) Cognac, the 2006 Bonneuil is a very inviting, fruit-forward number with aromas redolent of dried apricot, sultana, baking spice-laced apple, vanilla bean and some sweet oak overtones. Warm and mildly spicy with nuances of apricot and subdued tropical notes, with cedar and floral nuances. Extremely well-balanced, with just a kiss of ground pepper end notes.
