Weather conditions
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.
Harvest

Tasting
Clear, pale yellow colour with some green highlights.
Fine and very expressive, the nose gives off pleasant notes of citrus fruits (grapefruit) and white flowers, slightly vanilla.
On the palate, there is complexity, a nice sweetness and a pleasant freshness. It is a very aromatic wine with notes of citrus (grapefruit, lemon) and white flowers (peach). The whole is well balanced.

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.
