Château Bonnet Réserve White
Château Bonnet Réserve is made from selected plots of just a few hectares from among the estate's 120 hectares. This white wine is produced sustainably from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes.
Wine style
Tender and Aromatic
Grape blend
Sauvignon blanc 73% / Sémillon 27%
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
Clear, pale yellow colour with some green highlights.
Nose
Fine and very expressive, the nose gives off pleasant notes of citrus fruits (grapefruit) and white flowers, slightly vanilla.
Mouth
On the palate, there is complexity, a nice sweetness and a pleasant freshness. It is a very aromatic wine with notes of citrus (grapefruit, lemon) and white flowers (peach). The whole is well balanced. This reserve vintage of Château Bonnet, elegant and gourmet, will be the ideal companion of a shrimp-based starter, a grilled fish or even a goat's cheese.
