Description
Authentic Spirits La Prenellerie Lot 73 Cognac Bons Bois
La Prenellerie Lot 73 is an intense and expressive Cognac from the Bons Bois region, bottled by Authentic Spirits. The distillate originates from Domaine La Prenellerie, situated on the clay-limestone slopes near the Gironde estuary. Founded in 1972, the estate has embraced sustainable agriculture since 1984 and began a transition to organic production in 2015 under the guidance of Frédéric Billonneau.
This Cognac is a single cask bottling, distilled from 100% Ugni Blanc and aged in the domaine’s cellars until its cask strength bottling in October 2024. It is presented without additives, filtration, or reduction, remaining completely true to its terroir. With an ABV of 52.6%, it offers an intense and rich character.
The flavor profile is broad and complex. The nose features warm notes of fruit, pastry, and mineral freshness. The palate delivers a burst of candied and citrus fruits, enhanced by sweet spices. The finish is long, saline, and carries a chalky minerality that speaks to the vineyard’s unique location.
Presentation of the bottle
The bottle showcases a modern design with a light blue label and a striking black-and-white image of Cognac barrels. The visual contrast reflects both the purity and the age of this Bons Bois Cognac.
How to drink
Best savored neat in a tulip glass to allow the aromas to evolve. Let it breathe to unlock the full spectrum of fruit, spice, and mineral complexity. An ideal Cognac for seasoned enthusiasts and collectors looking for something deeply terroir-driven and powerful.

Certain aspects do recall old agricole rums
Here we are at the mouth of the Gironde, then, in a setting that’s almost maritime. Colour: amber. Nose: oh, the honeys! And fudge with touches of pink pepper and mint chocolate. With water: mint tea with a mocha spoonful of fir honey, and a hint of sauna oil. Mouth (neat): very fine tension, on...
