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.

Weather
The 2017 vintage was one of the earliest on record. The growing season was marked by a dry winter and spring (46% less rainfall than usual), accompanied by temperatures 2°C above average (except for the frost in April). This dry summer weather was ideal for ripening the seeds until late August.
Tasting Comment
Appearance
Crystal-clear pale yellow colour that is bright and attractive.
Nose
Remarkably intense and fruity nose. Delicate notes of white flowers and citrus fruit fill the glass.
Mouth
Particularly well-structured on the palate, this round and attractively refreshing wine has a beautifully long aftertaste. Featuring a lemony freshness that lingers on the palate, it is ideal with seafood. Also a treat served on its own as an aperitif.
