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.

Tasting Comment
Appearance
Deep colour.
Nose
Toasty aromas, notes of red fruits.
Mouth
Powerfull, full and rich attack, good presence of the tannins.
Ratings and reviews
Deep garnet-red colour. Lovely fruit (blackcurrant, blueberry and redcurrant) on the nose enhanced by more exotic notes reminiscent of cocoa. Full-bodied and very silky on the palate with an elegant structure. The marriage of fruit and oak is successful, and helps to give the wine volume and length.
