Dégustation

The 2019 Bonnet is a clear, brilliant pale yellow colour, with scattered green highlights.
The wonderfully intense nose reveals delicate aromas of white fruit (pear), mixed with notes of citrus fruit.
Starts out beautifully straightforward on the palate. Round and full-bodied best describe the mid-palate. The finish is incredibly fresh, contributing a lovely long aftertaste. This wine is beautifully well-balanced. The palate expresses the same white fruit aromas found on the nose.

Clear pale-yellow colour. The delicate bouquet features attractive herbaceous and floral notes, reminiscent of the meadows. A full-bodied wine with citrus flavours coming to the fore on the palate. A pleasure to drink with fish brochettes.

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.
