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 75% / Sémillon 25%
Weather
2019 was marked by a fairly mild winter, resulting in early bud break. Spring rainfall was scarce and drought conditions set in in early summer. Rainfall in August provided a welcome relief for winegrowers.
Tasting Comment
Appearance
The colour is limpid, brilliant, of an attractive pale yellow, with slightly silvery green reflections.
Nose
The very aromatic nose is particularly elegant and greedy, with notes of yellow fruit (peach, apricot) and exotic fruit (pineapple), enhanced by a very light woodiness.
Mouth
In the mouth, the attack is supple. It is a well-balanced wine with a nice volume, a lot of roundness, sweetness and a nice fatness. We find here the delicious fruit aromas, already perceived in the nose, enhanced by some woody notes, well blended. With a good length, this wine will be the ideal companion of a codfish back with beurre blanc, a monkfish à l'Armoricaine, or a cheese platter.
