Presentation
Thanks to expressive fruit – but without excessive concentration – Château Bonnet's red wine is unquestionably charming. In fact, it is a benchmark in Bordeaux.The wine is best enjoyed on the young side, although the quality tannin ensures good ageing for several year.
The vintage
2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.

Tasting
Deep, brilliant cherry-red colour.
Intense and particularly seductive, the nose is dominated by aromas of fresh red fruit such as strawberry, redcurrant and raspberry.
The attack is supple and slightly sweet, quickly giving way to a generous, round body. The mid-palate is full-bodied and delicious. The tannins are fine and silky, with an elegant finish.
This is a harmonious, well-balanced wine with a supple texture and pleasant freshness. It is easy to drink.
