“Very lovely fruit. Silky texture. Well-rounded. Great finesse. Superb.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Wine Guide) We can’t say enough good things about this charming red with notes of ripe black fruit that are simply irresistible.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2019) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

The very low yields certainly account for the full-bodied and vigorous character of this Chénas. The tannins are still quite firm and will require a bit of patience to develop more roundness. Overall, however, it is quite indulgent, with charming aromas of ripe black fruit.

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 had a manor house built 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 oenologist. He has also partnered with a winemaker from the Mâconnais region to expand his operations through a wine merchant firm, Bourgogne Sélect.

About the wine:

It may be a light red, but it reveals sparkling notes of blackberries and well-balanced acidity. The slightly sap-like finish calls for a nice picnic. Best enjoyed now.

Almost a little too complex for what you'd expect... But the wine itself is excellent.
