Château Tour de Bonnet, La Courrège, White, 2025

Presentation

Presentation
In former times, in Bordeaux, a courrège referred to those narrow vineyard plots that shaped the landscape and carried within them the very soul of the region’s winemaking tradition. Born from a 100% family-owned vineyard cultivated with passion for five generations, this exceptional wine is the result of a meticulous selection of the finest plots from Château Tour de Bonnet. It embodies today the excellence of the Entre-Deux-Mers terroir.
Its intense aromas of mango and passion fruit immediately captivate the senses. On the palate, freshness and expressiveness combine with a lovely roundness to create perfect harmony. A bright, vibrant, and elegant wine — true to its terroir.
The vintage
The 2025 vintage was shaped by a contrasting spring and a dry summer, which at times caused significant water stress on the lightest soils. These conditions helped to greatly limit yields while concentrating berry quality. Marked day–night temperature differences at the end of summer then allowed the grapes to reach fully developed aromatic and phenolic ripeness, delivering fine concentration. The very good sanitary condition of the fruit is also worth highlighting.
