"A real treat!"
"Fresh and fruity nose of blueberries, crushed stones, and honey. This fresh and lively red wine is medium-bodied, mineral, and lively, with very fine tannins." (James Suckling 2025)

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.
