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.
Wine style
Fresh and Fruity
Grape blend
Merlot 50% / Cabernet Sauvignon 50%
Weather
2016 was one of the finest vintages in the past 20 years. Winter was exceptionally wet and mild, and it rained a great deal in spring until June. However, the weather changed radically in mid-June, turning warm and quite dry, with cool nights. Ideal conditions for growing excellent wine grapes!
Tasting Comment
Appareance
The pale soft pink hue with brilliant, slightly salmon-coloured highlights reflects short maceration.
Nose
The dominant aroma is peach, complemented by subtle floral notes, such as jasmine.
Mouth
Delicious and quite enjoyable on the palate with hints of redcurrant and citrus. The particularly fine balance between acidity and an impression of sweetness confers decided elegance. Attractive, easy-going 2006 Tour de Bonnet rosé has a fine long aftertaste. It is ideal on a summer's evening with friends, at a barbecue, with melon and Parma ham, with seafood, etc.
Ratings and reviews
2018 Edition - This equal blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon makes a pale rosé wine with salmon-pink highlights. On aeration, the bouquet offers hints of white flowers, wilted roses, peaches, fruit pits, and oranges. It is full-bodied on the palate, with a lovely balance of freshness, complexity, and discreet elegance. 2017 - 2018.
