Decanter 90
Complex black fruit, mint and cedar nose. Cassis and plum flavours on the palate, with a hint of chocolate, and a youthful grip on the finish.

CHÂTEAU BONNET is the family home where the story of the André Lurton family started. It is one of the leading brand of the Entre-Deux-Mers and one of the most beautiful regions of the Bordeaux countryside.

The estate promotes biodiversity with the creation of an eco-garden, installation of beehives, new crops (vegetables, etc.) and are committed sustainable farming.

History
ANDRÉ LURTON is the company’s founder, for almost 70 years he dedicated his life to his vines, as only a man born in a wine chateau could do. Jacques Lurton now runs the family estates; he was nominated president of the group by his family in June 2019. His vast winemaking experience around the world over 30 years, has given him inspired and creative vision which he now transmits to the Vignobles Andre Lurton.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby-red color scattered with purple highlights. The nose is very attractive and fruity, revealing a delicious array of fresh fruit notes (cherry, plum, blackberry), underpinned by subtle hints of spice. Very round, delicious and balanced. Ideally paired with grilled red meats and cheese platters.
