I was lucky enough to have lunch with Mr Andre Lurton yesterday at Château Bonnet . This wine grower and Bordeaux icon both in the Entre Deux Mers and in Pessac Leognan (which he invented) was as delightful as ever and it was a great occasion to see just how Bordeaux can create quality wines at both the top and affordable level of the market place ;
Château Bonnet has just released their 2009 for the Rosé and their white and both are delightfully fresh, aromatic and perfect for drinking now ; a tribute to the modern wine making techniques used at this historic property that recently celebrated 100 years in the family.
Always innovating Château Bonnet has just launched it’s latest ne product a NV Cremant de Bordeaux Rosé which we also had the pleasure a tasting, all rose petals and bubble-gum pink – an excellent and very affordable alternative to pink champagne for Valentines day next week !
