Tasting
Beautiful, deep ruby-red colour with purple highlights.
The nose is particularly pleasant and intense, with tremendous aromatic complexity. Black fruit notes (blackberry, blackcurrant) come to the fore, accompanied by slightly oaky overtones.
Starts out beautifully round and sweet on the palate, with well-balanced notes of oak. Black fruit aromas (blackberry, blackcurrant) follow through to the palate, making for an eminently enjoyable wine. The lovely structure is underpinned by firm, elegant tannins, and particularly harmonious, well-balanced flavours.

AOC Bordeaux
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.
