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.

Tasting
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.

AOC Bordeaux
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.
