Presentation
Château Bonnet Réserve is made from selected plots of just a few hectares from among the estate's 120 hectares. This white wine is produced sustainably from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes.
The vintage
The weather in 2024 was extreme, with heavy rainfall, lack of sunshine and cool temperatures, making the fight against vine diseases particularly difficult. After a somewhat difficult flowering period with some coulure, a more favourable period in August allowed the grapes to change colour evenly, followed by a rapid harvest in September to preserve the quality of the grapes. This vintage marks a return to normal harvest dates.

Tasting
Pale yellow colour with golden, slightly green highlights, a sign of freshness. Beautiful brilliance and clarity.
The nose is expressive and complex, opening with aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit like apricot and peach, accompanied by subtle floral notes.
On the palate, the attack is full and smooth. The mid-palate stands out for its volume, well-controlled fatty texture and remarkable balance between richness and freshness. The finish is lively and tangy, with a very discreet, perfectly blended woody note. A well-structured wine, both generous and elegant.
