"This windmill charms with its great length, concentration, power, and aromatic finesse" (Hachette)
"Fresh and precise, with a beautiful structure, this red wine offers lively aromas of cherries, wild berries, crushed herbs, and stones on the nose. Medium-bodied, it has chalky tannins and a savory finish." (James Suckling 2025)

About wine:
For this high-quality 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 dozen days of vatting. These choices clearly paid off, as this Moulin-à-Vent charms with its great length, concentration, power, and aromatic finesse centered around violet and red fruit. A few years of aging will benefit it.
About the estate:
On the border between Burgundy and Beaujolais, this château takes its name from Sieur Bonnet, alderman of the town of Mâcon, who built a manor house there in 1630, where Lamartine later stayed. Acquired by the Perrachon family in 1973, the estate has 22 hectares of vineyards. Pierre-Yves Perrachon, who has been at the helm since 1988, was joined in 2013 by his daughter Charlotte, an oenologist. He has also partnered with a winegrower from the Mâconnais region to complement his estate with a wine merchant business, Bourgogne Sélect.
