Divinus de Château Bonnet Red
Divinus is Château Bonnet's prestige cuvée. Our winemaking team has taken the greatest of care every step of the way to produce a wine on a par with the great growths. Made from perfectly ripe grapes, this cuvée displays softer fruit, more body and more pronounced oak when young than the Château Bonnet Réserve.
Wine style
Rich and Powerful
Grape blend
Merlot 80% / Cabernet Sauvignon 20%.
Weather
Spring was very trying, with considerable rainfall leading to fungal diseases of all sorts. This called for very close attention in the vines until the 14th of July, when the weather changed durably for the better.
Tasting Comment
Appareance
This cuvée of Château Bonnet has a brilliant, deep, crimson colour.
Nose
The complex, elegant bouquet is redolent of ripe fruit, with a cashew nut nuance.
Mouth
The tannin is round and silky. Although enjoyable at the present time, the wine will also be fine in 2 or 3 years. It is wonderful with grilled meats.
