Château Tour de Bonnet White
Château Tour de Bonnet exists in white, rosé and red versions. This wine was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the construction of a belvedere by André Lurton's grandfather, Léonce Récapet.
The white wine is fresh, fruity and floral. It is an archetypical Entre-deux-Mers that goes beautifully with all fish and seafood dishes.
Wine style
Fresh and Fruity
Grape blend
Sauvignon blanc 85% / Sémillon 15%
Weather
2021 was marked by very capricious weather: heavy rainfall in the spring, a frost episode in April causing major damage... But warm days and cool nights followed one another from mid-August onwards, ensuring the success of the vintage.
Tasting Comment
Appearance
Limpid, nice pale yellow colour, dotted with silver reflections.
Nose
Very expressive, nose is dominated by tasty notes of white fruit, juicy (peach, nectarine) and citrus (grapefruit, candied orange).
Mouth
The frank attack announces a beautiful intensity of the fruit in mouth, with notes of exotic fruits (mango), white fruits like peach, without forgetting citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit). The balance between fat and freshness is perfectly mastered. The finish is successful. It is a fresh and gourmet wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with a seafood platter, or with grilled fish.
