Château Bonnet White
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.
Wine style
Fresh and Fruity
Grape blend
Sauvignon blanc 78% / Sémillon 22%
Weather
2020 was marked by very mild temperatures and contrasting precipitation: heavy spring rainfall was followed by an intense summer drought. The fairly mild winter led to early bud break. The summer heat gave way to cool nights in late August, ideal for ripening grapes.
Tasting Comment
Appearance
This 2020 white Bonnet is a brilliant, very pale yellow colour with silver highlights.
Nose
The bouquet is particularly expressive, revealing citrus and white floral notes (broom flowers).
Mouth
Starts out instantly appealing on the palate, becoming fresh, wonderfully rich and delicious, laced with slightly acidic citrus flavours. This wine goes beautifully with marinated prawns, oysters, or even mussels in white wine.
