“‘This white wine captivates with its length, concentration, power, and aromatic finesse’ (Hachette)”
“Fresh and precise, with a lovely structure, this red wine offers lively aromas of cherries, wild berries, crushed herbs, and stone on the nose. Medium-bodied, it features chalky tannins and a savory finish.” (James Suckling 2025)

About the wine:
For this top-tier vintage, the grapes were harvested at the very end of August by the estate’s team. Charlotte and Julien Perrachon then opted for 70% destemming and a fermentation period of about twelve days. These choices clearly paid off, as this Moulin-à-Vent captivates with its long finish, concentration, power, and aromatic finesse centered on violet and red fruits. A few years of aging will do it good.
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.
