Divinus is Château Bonnet's prestige cuvée. Our winemaking team has taken the greatest of care every step of the way to produce a wine on a par with the great growths. Made from perfectly ripe grapes, this cuvée displays softer fruit, more body and more pronounced oak when young than the Château Bonnet Réserve.

Tasting
The robe of this Divinus 2015 is the very expression of its nobility, with its bright, crimson color, enhanced by darker highlights.
On the nose, it's a very seductive wine, with complex aromas of very ripe red fruits, of great finesse, mingled with subtle notes of licorice.
On the palate, the attack is extremely pleasant. The tannins are round and velvety. The notes of ripe red fruit already present on the nose, with a hint of blackberry and blackcurrant. The finish is very harmonious.

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.
