Presentation
Château Bonnet is one of Bordeaux's consistently reliable wines. Vignobles André Lurton are committed to making wines that are both fullbodied and balanced, like this Reserve cuvee, which typifies classic Bordeaux. Its faultless pedigree is revealed in its elegant balance, depth and charm.
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
Intense, deep purple colour.
The expressive nose opens with seductive aromas of black fruits, sublimated by hints of vanilla and cocoa, offering a bouquet that is both delicious and slightly spicy.
On the palate, the soft, velvety attack leads to a generous, round mid-palate. The structure is clearly present, underpinned by silky, enveloping tannins. The range of aromas, marked by a pleasant hint of vanilla, gives the wine a delicious mouthfeel. A perfectly balanced wine, combining finesse and intensity.
