Fiche Technique

Présentation

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.

Dégustation

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.

92/100

Attractive violets and dark flowers with plums and blueberries lead to a palate that has quite an assertive shell of forthright tannin. Good length, too. Try from 2022.

89-91/100

The 2015 Divinus de Château Bonnet, the estate's top wine, is impressive. Crème de cassis, smoke, licorice, tobacco, menthol, pine and graphite are beautifully delineated in the glass. Beams of supporting tannin give the wine its sense of proportion and overall balance. This is a strong showing.

89/100

With a ripe, dark cherry and chocolate profile, the wine is round, forward and fresh, with a fruity sweetness in the round textured finish.
