Weather conditions
2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.
Harvest
29 August - 6 September 2023
Tasting
A brilliant yellow colour with golden and slightly green highlights.
Intense and fruity on the nose, with aromas of apricot and peach, enriched by delicate floral notes, it offers a delightful complexity of flavours.
The attack is generous and supple, with good volume and a lovely fatness in the middle of the palate. The balance is perfectly controlled thanks to its invigorating freshness. The finish is tangy and refreshing, with a subtle, well-integrated note of wood that adds to the harmonious structure of this wine.

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.
