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
2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.

Tasting
A brilliant yellow colour with golden and slightly green highlights.
Intense and fruity on the nose, with aromas of apricot and peach, enriched by delicate floral notes, it offers a delightful complexity of flavours.
The attack is generous and supple, with good volume and a lovely fatness in the middle of the palate. The balance is perfectly controlled thanks to its invigorating freshness. The finish is tangy and refreshing, with a subtle, well-integrated note of wood that adds to the harmonious structure of this wine.
