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 55% / Sémillon 45%
Weather
2015 was the third warmest year since 1900... Drought conditions, above-average monthly temperatures and sunshine (in the first half of the year), cool nights and hot weather in August accompanying véraison (colour change) were all ideal for the vines!
Tasting Comment
Appareance
Lovely pale yellow with green highlights.
Nose
Seductive, beautifully intense, and very expressive. Hints of citrus (lemon), nectarine, and pear, accompanied by subtle oaky nuances.
Mouth
Moderate, pleasant acidity. White fruit aromas, mostly pear. This rich, well-balanced, 2015 white Château Bonnet Réserve is a perfect match with fish, seafood, Chinese food, and cheeses.
