Conditions météorologiques
2021 was marked by very capricious weather. There was a lot of rain in the spring. An episode of frost at the beginning of April caused major damage. The summer was very mild, with no extreme heat. At the end of August, fine weather set in, with high temperatures during the day and cool nights: ideal conditions for ripening the grapes. These last few weeks were crucial to the success of this vintage.

Dégustation
Limpid, nice pale yellow colour, dotted with silver reflections.
Very expressive, nose is dominated by tasty notes of white fruit, juicy (peach, nectarine) and citrus (grapefruit, candied orange).
The frank attack announces a beautiful intensity of the fruit in mouth, with notes of exotic fruits (mango), white fruits like peach, without forgetting citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit). The balance between fat and freshness is perfectly mastered. The finish is successful.

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.
