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.

Beautiful dark colour with purplish highlights. The nose displays black and red fruit notes underpinned by subtle oaky nuances. Attractively full-bodied and fruity on the palate with well-integrated tannin. A well-structured, delicious and aromatic Bordeaux wine.
