Aged with special care and attention partly in new oak barrels, a new prestige cuvée, Château Tour de Bonnet Grande Cuvée, now adds to the estate's range.

Dégustation

Lovely deep ruby red colour with some violet highlights.
Very pleasant, the nose expresses itself with intensity. Very complex, with aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant); the whole is enhanced by some woody notes.
On the palate, the attack is beautiful, with a lot of roundness and sweetness. The black fruit notes (blackberry, blackcurrant) bring a lot of greediness. The structure is nice, with firm and elegant tannins. Harmony and balance are the key words. Its ageing potential is remarkable, which will allow you, if you wish, to let it age for a few more years.
