Présentation

Made from perfectly ripe grapes, this cuvée displays softer fruit, more body and more pronounced oak when young than the Château Bonnet Réserve.

Dégustation

This Divinus is a wonderful, deep cherry-red colour.This Divinus is a wonderful, deep cherry-red colour.
The nose is very expressive, combining black fruit aromas (blackberry) and oaky and spicy notes, thanks to barrel ageing. A remarkable balance between fruit and oak.
Starts out straightforward, becoming wonderfully round mid-palate. Well-structured and concentrated, leading into a lovely long aftertaste, reminiscent of the oaky and black fruit notes perceived on the nose.
