Very Sauvignon, this wine of André Lurton at an affordable price, is an example of "everyday wine": succulent aromas of pear and tropical fruit, nervous and expressive on the palate, clean finish and well-defined . Intelligent, vibrant easy to drink yet.

Conditions météorologiques
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.
Vendanges
29 August - 6 October 2023
Dégustation
Pale yellow colour with green, slightly silvery highlights.
Intense and complex, the nose is particularly pleasant, dominated by the character of a Sauvignon harvested at perfect ripeness. The notes of white nectarine, passion fruit and citrus blend harmoniously with the floral notes. The whole is successful.
The attack is round and unctuous. Accompanied by notes of citrus fruit and grapefruit, a lovely freshness balances the palate and leads to an interestingly long finish. This is a very pleasant, fresh 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.
