Château Bonnet | White
AOC Entre-deux-Mers
AOC Bordeaux
Thanks to expressive fruit – but without excessive concentration – Château Bonnet's red wine is unquestionably charming. In fact, it is a benchmark in Bordeaux.The wine is best enjoyed on the young side, although the quality tannin ensures good ageing for several year.

Conditions météorologiques
2016 was one of the finest vintages in the past 20 years. Winter was exceptionally wet and mild, and it rained a great deal in spring until June. However, the weather changed radically in mid-June, turning warm and quite dry, with cool nights. Ideal conditions for growing excellent wine grapes!

Dégustation
This 2016 red Bonnet rouge 2016 has a lovely clear, vivacious, red colour.
The nose is fruity and very marked by Cabernet Sauvignon, with succulent overtones of red fruit (strawberry, redcurrant) and a hint of liquorice.
Smooth and fresh from the very first on the palate. This round, delicious wine has great Cabernet Sauvignon varietal character, with very ripe and slightly jammy red fruit (cherry) flavours. This 2016 Bonnet is truly elegant with a lovely balance between freshness and concentration.
