Château Tour de Bonnet Red 2016

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

2016 was one of the finest vintages in the past 20 years. Winter was exceptionally wet and mild, and it rained a great deal in spring until June. However, the weather changed radically in mid-June, turning warm and quite dry, with cool nights. Ideal conditions for growing excellent wine grapes!

Dégustation

Brilliant and very attractive reddish/deep-purple colour.
Fruity delightful bouquet. Exquisite hints of red fruit (cherry, strawberry) combined with a subtle touch of liquorice. Smooth and fresh on the palate.
This round, delicious wine has slightly jammy red fruit (cherry) flavours. 2016 Tour de Bonnet is much appreciated for its freshness and beautiful balance.
