Divinus is Château Bonnet's prestige cuvée. Our winemaking team has taken the greatest of care every step of the way to produce a wine on a par with the great growths. Made from perfectly ripe grapes, this cuvée displays softer fruit, more body and more pronounced oak when young than the Château Bonnet Réserve.
Varietal
Merlot : 65%
Cabernet sauvignon : 35%
Alcohol content
14% vol.
Weather conditions
2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.
Harvest
16 September - 10 October 2022
Tasting
Intense garnet-red colour.
On the nose, notes of vanilla are accompanied by fresh aromas of black fruits. The ageing is still noticeable, but will integrate harmoniously with the bottle ageing.
The attack on the palate is soft and enchanting, with a pleasant roundness and good volume in the mid-palate. The tannic structure is more subtle than in other vintages, but offers excellent balance. The freshness lingers on the palate, leaving the impression of a very harmonious wine.
Terroir
Shallow soils with clay and asteriated limestone, excellent drainage and southern exposure.
In the vineyard

Grape Harvest: mechanical harvest.
Winemaking
Temperature contrrolled with pumping-over and breaking up of the cap of solid grape particles.

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.
