Château Tour de Bonnet, La Courrège, White, 2024

Château Tour de Bonnet
La Courrège | White

AOC Entre-deux-Mers

Technical datasheet

Presentation

In former times, in Bordeaux, a courrège referred to those narrow vineyard plots that shaped the landscape and carried within them the very soul of the region’s winemaking tradition. Born from a 100% family-owned vineyard cultivated with passion for five generations, this exceptional wine is the result of a meticulous selection of the finest plots from Château Tour de Bonnet. It embodies today the excellence of the Entre-Deux-Mers terroir.
Its intense aromas of mango and passion fruit immediately captivate the senses. On the palate, freshness and expressiveness combine with a lovely roundness to create perfect harmony. A bright, vibrant, and elegant wine — true to its terroir.

The wine

Varietal

Sauvignon blanc : 98%

Sémillon : 2%

Alcohol content

12,5% vol.

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

Bright and limpid robe with a lovely pale yellow hue.
Particularly aromatic, the nose immediately charms with its delicious notes of exotic fruits. Ripe mango and passion fruit are expressed here with great elegance.
The attack is delicate and silky, revealing beautiful richness on the palate. The texture is generous and enveloping, offering a sensation of softness and harmony. A lively freshness perfectly balances this roundness, resulting in a dynamic and refreshing tasting experience. The long, lingering finish leaves a gourmet impression of mango and exotic fruits.

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.
