Divinus de Château Bonnet Red 2019

Divinus de Château Bonnet | Red

AOC Bordeaux

Presentation

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.

The wine

Varietal

Cabernet sauvignon : 60%

Merlot : 40%

Alcohol content

13.5% vol.

Weather conditions

2019 was marked by a fairly mild winter, resulting in early bud break. Spring rainfall was scarce and drought conditions set in in early summer. Rainfall in August provided a welcome relief for winegrowers.

Harvest

24 September 2019

Tasting

Deep and dense colour, very dark red, almost black, with ruby highlights.
The nose is very expressive, with notes of toast, coffee, but also ripe black fruits (blueberries, blackberries, black cherries...), with some vanilla touches.
The attack is full and fleshy. The tannins are coated. The mouth is well balanced, with sweetness and freshness. The black fruit notes (blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant), already perceived on the nose, dominate here. Good length. Rich finish. Its tannic structure gives it good ageing potential.

Château Bonnet

Château Bonnet

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.
