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.

Review by Mr. ETIENNE D. Published on 12/12/2019
After being allowed to breathe for a while, this is a refined and subtle wine; it’s light and lacks a bit of length, but leaves a very pleasant impression.

Review by Mr. PIERRE G. Published on February 4, 2019
Out of two bottles, one was corked and the other was really not good at all.... Surprising, since I really enjoyed the 2016 Julienas.
