(2017 Vintage Notes)

Gamay

ample

veal rolls

This expertise is once again on full display with this Gamay vintage, made from vines averaging 60 years of age and grown on weathered granite, foothills, and ancient alluvial soils. Notes of violet, cherry, and kirsch emerge on the nose, giving way to a fruity, full-bodied palate with fine yet distinct tannins. It’s full of character and has everything to please.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

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 country manor built here 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 complement his operations with a wine merchant firm, Bourgogne Sélect.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on February 1, 2023

An excellent entry-level wine from the Moulin-à-Vent AOP, featuring a Gamay with notes of ripe red fruits and a rich, indulgent palate. I recommend it.
