Château Bonnet is expanding its range and launching Eden: a new wine from plots cultivated using Biocontrol (a set of plant protection methods based on the use of natural method). From the vine to the cellar, these natural methods are respected: indigenous yeasts for fermentation, without sulphite... A brilliant and gourmet wine close to nature, quite simply!

Weather conditions
2021 was marked by very capricious weather. There was a lot of rain in the spring. An episode of frost at the beginning of April caused major damage. The summer was very mild, with no extreme heat. At the end of August, fine weather set in, with high temperatures during the day and cool nights: ideal conditions for ripening the grapes. These last few weeks were crucial to the success of this vintage.
Harvest
27 September 2021
Tasting
Colour, good depth, and a lovely cherry red, with some violet highlights.
The nose is marked by notes of peony, crisp fruit (cherry), enhanced by a hint of peppery notes.
The attack is frank. There is a very nice volume in the middle of the mouth. The tannic structure is average; the tannins are well blended. The red fruits (cherry), previously perceived on the nose, are found here in the mouth. It is a gourmet, digestible wine, very easy to drink.

The cradle of Vignobles André Lurton, Château Bonnet is first and foremost a family home where tradition and ecological commitment come together in harmony. Nestled in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region, the estate promotes biodiversity with beehives, a henhouse, flowering fallows and orchards, while adopting biocontrol viticultural practices for some of its plots. Its fresh, expressive dry white wines reveal delicate notes of citrus and exotic fruit, perfect for accompanying seafood and oysters from the Bay of Arcachon. Its well-balanced red wines, with supple tannins, express all the richness and deliciousness of the fruit.
