BONS BOIS N°1

THE CHARENTE VINEYARD OF THE MORIN AND BOUQUET FAMILIES CONSISTS OF NEARLY ONE HUNDRED HECTARES IN THE HEART OF SAINTONGE, SPREAD ACROSS FOUR WINE ESTATES: LES MAISONS-NEUVES, MAINE-ODON, CHAPÎTRE, AND LE LOGIS DE LUCHAT. SOME OF THESE ESTATES HAVE BEEN PASSED DOWN WITHIN THE FAMILY SINCE 1663. BY REINTRODUCING HISTORICAL GRAPE VARIETIES THAT HAVE BECOME RARE, SUCH AS FOLLE BLANCHE, COLOMBARD, AND MONTILS, THE OWNERS HAVE REMAINED FAITHFUL TO THE ANCESTRAL TRADITION OF THE TERROIRS. THIS 1993 VINTAGE OF FOLLE BLANCHE, A GRAPE VARIETY THAT BROUGHT FAME TO COGNAC IN THE 19TH CENTURY BEFORE BEING ALMOST ABANDONED DUE TO ITS DIFFICULT CULTIVATION, IS ONE OF THE CENTERPIECE OF THIS FIRST COLLECTION.

THE AMBER COLOR WITH COPPER HIGHLIGHTS REVEALS SUBTLE AROMAS OF RIPE APPLE AND BANANA, ENHANCED BY A FLORAL NOTE OF HONEYSUCKLE. ON THE PALATE, IT EVOLVES TOWARDS RANCIO, ALMOND, AND WALNUT WITH SOFT TANNINS.

• FRUITY - 3/5 - RIPE APPLE, BANANA, ALMOND, WALNUT
• FLORAL - 1/5 - HONEYSUCKLE
• WOODY - 2/5 - OAK, CHESTNUT, SMOOTH TANNINS
• SPICY - 1/5 - VANILLA POD
