Château Tour de Bonnet Rosé
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 rosé has a bouquet with floral nuances as well as a velvety texture on the palate with just the right amount of freshness on the aftertaste. Very long, pleasant finish.

Tasting Comment
Appareance
Sprightly, clear, brilliant colour.
Nose
Lively bouquet of raspberry and grapefruit.
Mouth
The perfect blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the former bringing aromatic intensity, the latter freshness and personality. Omnipresent raspberry notes conjure images of biting into the ripe fruit itself. Excellent balance, will be a fine accompaniment to grilled gambas or summer salads. (January, 2012)
