Weather
2018 was one of the warmest years since 1900, featuring above-average temperatures, the second hottest summer to date, and abundant sunshine… Heavy rainfall in the first half of the year was followed by persistent, near-record drought conditions in September.
Tasting Comment
Appareance
This 2018 Bonnet Réserve is a lovely pale-yellow colour with green highlights.
Nose
Particularly pleasant, complex bouquet of stone fruit aromas (white peach, nectarine) alongside notes of white flowers, overlaid by well-integrated, toasty overtones and hints of brioche.
Mouth
Starts out beautifully round on the palate, demonstrating perfect balance between freshness and delicious flavours. Orchard fruit aromas predominate (white peach, nectarine) and pleasantly blend in with subtle notes of vanilla and lime blossom. This 2018 Château Bonnet Réserve is ideal paired with sea bream tartare, chicken risotto, courgette crumble or fresh goat's cheese (Rocamadour).
