Château Bonnet | White
AOC Entre-deux-Mers
AOC Bordeaux
Tour de Bonnet brand exists in white, rosé and red versions. This wine was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the construction of a belvedere by André Lurton's grandfather, Léonce Récapet. The rosé has a bouquet with floral nuances as well as a velvety texture on the palate with just the right amount of freshness on the aftertaste. Very long, pleasant finish.

Weather conditions
The 2025 vintage was shaped by a contrasting spring and a dry summer, which at times caused significant water stress on the lightest soils. These conditions helped to greatly limit yields while concentrating berry quality. Marked day–night temperature differences at the end of summer then allowed the grapes to reach fully developed aromatic and phenolic ripeness, delivering fine concentration. The very good sanitary condition of the fruit is also worth highlighting.
Harvest
26 August- 08 September 2025.
Tasting
Pale salmon pink colour with silvery highlights, clear and bright.
The first impression on the nose is subtle; then, as it breathes, the bouquet opens up to reveal raspberry, red berries (redcurrant, wild strawberry) and a very fresh citrus note, reminiscent of grapefruit zest.
On the palate, the attack is lively and refreshing. The mid-palate is supple and round, with a lovely indulgent quality. The finish returns to a clear, well-extended freshness, bringing balance, depth and good length on the fruit and citrus notes.

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.
