Tasting

This 2018 Bonnet Réserve is a lovely pale-yellow colour with green highlights.
Particularly pleasant, complex bouquet of stone fruit aromas (white peach, nectarine) alongside notes of white flowers, overlaid by well-integrated, toasty overtones and hints of brioche.
Starts out beautifully round on the palate, demonstrating perfect balance between freshness and delicious flavours. Orchard fruit aromas predominate (white peach, nectarine) and pleasantly blend in with subtle notes of vanilla and lime blossom.

Château Bonnet

Château Bonnet

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.
