Château Bonnet Rosé
With its freshness and notes of currant and raspberry from a short maceration before pressing, it is the wine of all meals. Just fresh, with surprising length, it is a real value.
Wine style
Fresh and Fruity
Grape blend
Cabernet sauvignon 55% / Merlot 38% / Sémillon 7%
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
This 2020 Château Bonnet Rosé is a fairly pale salmon-pink colour, scattered with silver highlights.
Nose
The nose is fresh and intense, with complex notes of white fruit (peach) and citrus (pink grapefruit), with a touch of honeysuckle overtones. The mouthful is fresh and the flavours linger.
Mouth
Starts out smooth, becoming beautifully round mid-palate. A slight touch of acidity brings freshness. A well-balanced wine with a lovely long aftertaste. Delicious white fruit aromas follow through to the finish. Ideal served with grilled salmon à la plancha, endive tatin or stuffed tomatoes.
