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
Elegant and Fruity
Grape blend
Sauvignon 55% / Sémillon 35% / Muscadelle 10%

Tasting Comment
Appareance
Almost transparent, with dancing green highlights.
Nose
Once again, this Entre-deux-Mers explodes with fruit. Intense, complex notes of ripe tropical fruits open out with aeration.
Mouth
On the palate, the first impression is fine ripe grapes in a fresh yet opulent framework. Persistent fruit salad character. A lovely wine, to drink with the traditional seafood platter but also fish or white meats.
Ratings and reviews
In his eighties, but as sprightly as ever, André Lurton is viscerally attached to Château Bonnet, a magnificent 270-hectare estate in the Entre-Deux-Mers. The wine: tremendously refined on both the nose and the palate. Very pure fruit with beautiful mineral flavours and floral nuances. Full-boded, smooth, very aromatic and deliciously fresh.
