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
2020 was marked by very mild temperatures and contrasting precipitation: heavy spring rainfall was followed by an intense summer drought. The fairly mild winter led to early bud break. The summer heat gave way to cool nights in late August, ideal for ripening grapes.

Dégustation
Dark ruby red colour with purple highlights.
The nose is dominated by tasty notes of black fruits (black cherry) and red fruits. More spicy aromas complete the mix and give it a lot of character.
Supple attack with sweetness. The mid-palate is very present with a tannic structure that can still be felt. lt is a well-balanced wine with freshness and nice fruit.
