Dégustation

Deep, dark, ruby-red colour with purple highlights.
Rich, complex bouquet of red fruit (morello cherry), wax, and Virginia tobacco.
Starts out smooth and straightforward on the palate. Generous, refined, and well-balanced with beautiful structure, as well as wonderful concentration and delicious flavours of ripe red and black fruit. The tannin is particularly soft. The aftertaste features hints of sweet spice (cinnamon). The wine shows great vivaciousness and freshness that make it very appetising.

This equal blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon has an intense bouquet of red-berry fruit, blackcurrants, and blueberries, with smooth oak overtones. It is long, very well-balanced, and fruity on the palate, as well as full-bodied, rich, and fresh, backed up by firm tannins. Characterful, elegant, and harmonious. 2019-2022.

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.
