Weather conditions
The 2025 vintage was shaped by a contrasting spring and a dry summer, which at times caused significant water stress on the lightest soils. These conditions helped to greatly limit yields while concentrating berry quality. Marked day–night temperature differences at the end of summer then allowed the grapes to reach fully developed aromatic and phenolic ripeness, delivering fine concentration. The very good sanitary condition of the fruit is also worth highlighting.
Harvest
22 August – 16 September 2025
Tasting
Pale yellow in color with bright green highlights.
The nose is expressive and precise, gaining intensity with aeration. It reveals aromas of pineapple and passion fruit, complemented by yellow peach and white-fleshed fruits, lifted by a touch of citrus.
The palate is clean from the outset, fresh and lively. The mid-palate shows balanced volume and well-controlled roundness, without heaviness, supported by vibrant acidity that gives the wine length and energy. The finish is pure and flavorful, fruit-driven and pleasantly persistent.
A highly successful 2025 Entre-deux-Mers, both generous and vibrant.

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.
