Château Tour de Bonnet, AOC Entre-deux-Mers

Presentation

Château Tour de Bonnet exists in white, rosé and red versions. This wine was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the construction of a belvedere by André Lurton's grandfather, Léonce Récapet. The white wine is fresh, fruity and floral. It is an archetypical Entre-deux-Mers that goes beautifully with all fish and seafood dishes.

Weather conditions

2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. In 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

A pale-yellow colour with green highlights.

Very fruity, the nose is pleasant and becomes even more powerful with aeration. It then reveals a delicious blend of exotic fruit notes combined with yellow peach flavours. The whole is particularly good wine.

The attack is marked by a lovely freshness. The mid-palate is nicely full-bodied. The exotic fruit and peach notes are still very present. The balance between volume and freshness is perfect. Lovely length.
