A tribute to the builder of Château Bonnet in 1630, the Confidence de l'Echevin cuvée is a single-vineyard selection from century-old vines planted around the château. As revealed during winemaking, the grapes are small, sweet, and highly aromatic. As for the aging process, it softens the tannins, which lend structure and freshness to this beautiful Chénas.

About the estate:
Located on the border between Burgundy and Beaujolais, this château takes its name from Sieur Bonnet, a councilman of the city of Mâcon, who built a manor house there in 1630 where Lamartine later stayed. Acquired by the Perrachon family in 1973, the estate comprises 22 hectares of vineyards. Pierre-Yves Perrachon, who has led the estate since 1988, was joined in 2013 by his daughter Charlotte, an enologist. He has also partnered with a winemaker from the Mâconnais region to expand his operations through a wine merchant firm, Bourgogne Sélect.
