The wine

Varietal

Sauvignon blanc : 75%

Sémillon : 25%

Alcohol content

Weather conditions

2019 was marked by a fairly mild winter, resulting in early bud break. Spring rainfall was scarce and drought conditions set in in early summer. Rainfall in August provided a welcome relief for winegrowers.

Harvest

5 September 2019

Tasting

The colour is limpid, brilliant, of an attractive pale yellow, with slightly silvery green reflections.
The very aromatic nose is particularly elegant and greedy, with notes of yellow fruit (peach, apricot) and exotic fruit (pineapple), enhanced by a very light woodiness.
In the mouth, the attack is supple. It is a well-balanced wine with a nice volume, a lot of roundness, sweetness and a nice fatness. We find here the delicious fruit aromas, already perceived in the nose, enhanced by some woody notes, well blended.

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.
