Château Bonnet Red
Thanks to expressive fruit – but without excessive concentration – Château Bonnet's red wine is unquestionably charming. In fact, it is a benchmark in Bordeaux.The wine is best enjoyed on the young side, although the quality tannin ensures good ageing for several year.
Wine style
Tender and Aromatic
Grape blend
Merlot 50% / Cabernet Sauvignon 50 %.
Weather
While January and February were colder than average, 2009 was nevertheless a warm year (one of the warmest in a century). There was a great deal of sunshine and a remarkable drought during the summer months.
Tasting Comment
Appearance
Merlot and Cabernet in equal proportions, shows a deep colour fringed with violet.
Nose
Elegant nose of ripe fruit, echoed on the palate, concentrated and highly aromatic.
Mouth
Harmonious, soft and opulent on the palate. Intense fruit, blending perfectly with mellow, melting tannins. A well-crafted Bordeaux, excellent now, perfect with magret or a roast with chanterelle mushrooms. (January, 2012)
