Presentation
Presentation
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.
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
Brilliant colour, a soft pale pink with salmon and silver highlights.
The nose is expressive and generous, with intense aromas of luscious raspberry and red berries, enhanced by the finesse of vine peach and the delicacy of fresh flowers such as rose.
On the palate, the supple attack reveals a full, silky texture balanced by a lovely liveliness that gives it dynamism and freshness. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a pleasantly fruity and refreshing sensation.
Well-balanced, fruity and thirst-quenching, this charming rosé is the perfect companion for summer aperitifs. A vintage to savour without delay, for moments of pleasure and sharing!
