Château Bonnet White
AOC Entre-deux-Mers
AOC Entre-deux-Mers
Very Sauvignon, this wine of André Lurton at an affordable price, is an example of "everyday wine": succulent aromas of pear and tropical fruit, nervous and expressive on the palate, clean finish and well-defined. Intelligent, vibrant easy to drink yet.

Conditions météorologiques
2015 was the third warmest year since 1900... Drought conditions, above-average monthly temperatures and sunshine (in the first half of the year), cool nights and hot weather in August accompanying véraison (colour change) were all ideal for the vines!

Dégustation
Attractive pale yellow colour with green highlights.
Good concentration with hints of white flowers, as well as tropical fruit and grapefruit. A Sauvignon Blanc showing some varietal character and an subtle aftertaste.
2015 white Château Bonnet starts out smooth and elegant, with notes of fresh citrus and gooseberry. There are also floral overtones such as acacia blossom. The acidity is well-integrated and in balance. There is a beautiful long finish.
