Weather conditions
The weather in 2024 was extreme, with heavy rainfall, lack of sunshine and cool temperatures, making the fight against vine diseases particularly difficult. After a somewhat difficult flowering period with some coulure, a more favourable period in August allowed the grapes to change colour evenly, followed by a rapid harvest in September to preserve the quality of the grapes. This vintage marks a return to normal harvest dates.
Harvest
9 September - 4 October 2024
Tasting
Pale yellow colour with golden, slightly green highlights, a sign of freshness. Beautiful brilliance and clarity.
The nose is expressive and complex, opening with aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit like apricot and peach, accompanied by subtle floral notes.
On the palate, the attack is full and smooth. The mid-palate stands out for its volume, well-controlled fatty texture and remarkable balance between richness and freshness. The finish is lively and tangy, with a very discreet, perfectly blended woody note. A well-structured wine, both generous and elegant.

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.
