AOC Bordeaux
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.

Harvest

Tasting
Attractive cherry red colour, brilliant, with garnet highlights.
Very expressive, the nose is marked by tasty notes of ripe red fruit (raspberry, redcurrant) to which is added a light toasty note.
The palate is very supple and silky. This wine is very pleasant and particularly well balanced, which makes it drinkable now. Notes of fresh red fruit (cherry, redcurrant, raspberry), but also of dried fruit blend harmoniously with chocolate aromas. The tannins are present, but not excessive, well blended. The finish is a little more woody.

AOC Bordeaux
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.
