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 white wine is fresh, fruity and floral. It is an archetypical Entre-deux-Mers that goes beautifully with all fish and seafood dishes.
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 crystalline highlights.
The intensely expressive nose reveals a pleasing aromatic blend of juicy pear, bright citrus and exotic fruit, with remarkable precision.
On the palate, the attack is velvety, with a smooth texture that evolves into a perfectly balanced freshness in the middle of the mouth. The fruity notes (pear and citrus) are expressed with precision, bringing balance and delicacy. The medium length finish leaves a pleasant and refreshing impression.
