AOC Entre-deux-Mers
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 white wine is fresh, fruity and floral. It is an archetypical Entre-deux-Mers that goes beautifully with all fish and seafood dishes.

Tasting
Lovely, brilliant, pale yellow colour with green highlights.
Good intensity with white flower, tropical fruit, and grapefruit nuances. The Sauvignon Blanc varietal character comes through on the aftertaste.
Starts out quite smooth and elegant, with notes of fresh citrus and gooseberry, going on to reveal hints of flowers such as acacia blossom. Good balance and acidity, with a beautiful long finish.

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.
