Presentation
Château Bonnet is expanding its range and launching Eden: a new wine from plots cultivated using Biocontrol (a set of plant protection methods based on the use of natural method). From the vine to the cellar, these natural methods are respected: indigenous yeasts for fermentation, without sulphite... A brilliant and gourmet wine close to nature, quite simply!
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 very deep red colour with bright violet reflections.
On the nose, it needs a little aeration to fully express its aromatic bouquet. Once opened, it reveals seductive aromas of black fruits, particularly blackcurrant, blackcurrant cream and blackberry.
The attack is marked by a pleasant sweetness, which is quickly balanced by the tension of the mid-palate and finish. It is still a young wine, but its tannins will become finer with time, promising an interesting evolution. Despite its youth, this cuvée has a fairly light structure, which makes it pleasant to drink now.
