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

Conditions météorologiques

2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.

Vendanges

16 September - 10 October 2022

Dégustation

Intense garnet-red colour.
On the nose, notes of vanilla are accompanied by fresh aromas of black fruits. The ageing is still noticeable, but will integrate harmoniously with the bottle ageing.
The attack on the palate is soft and enchanting, with a pleasant roundness and good volume in the mid-palate. The tannic structure is more subtle than in other vintages, but offers excellent balance. The freshness lingers on the palate, leaving the impression of a very harmonious wine.
