Château Tour de Bonnet Red 2015

Château Tour de Bonnet Red

AOC Bordeaux

Présentation

Château Tour de Bonnet exists in white, rosé and red versions. This wine was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the construction of a belvedere by André Lurton's grandfather, Léonce Récapet. The deep red colour is extremely attractive and the smooth, delicious and very soft tannin provides backbone to the long, elegant and fruity aftertaste.

Conditions météorologiques

Dégustation

Beautiful deep red colour with dark highlights and purplish nuances.
Powerful bouquet with subtle hints of blackcurrant, as well as other fruits such as black cherry and blueberry.
Beautifully generous and full-bodied. The soft tannin contributes to great balance and an attractive long aftertaste. The aromas on the nose carry over to the palate, accompanied by subtle spicy overtones. This immensely pleasurable wine is best enjoyed young to take advantage of its exuberant fruitiness.
