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.

The bouquet is beautifully intense, with red- and black-berry fruit, slight oaky hints, and a touch of cinnamon.
