James Suckling
Although the vineyard is best known for its red wines, white wines have long since taken root in Beaujolais. These wines, made from Chardonnay grapes, are becoming increasingly popular with connoisseurs, and their personality is a real attraction. En Pérelle stands out for its fuity, brioche and almond notes, and its lightly toasted palate with a fine balance between freshness and roundness.

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domain rated (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
On the borders of Burgundy and Beaujolais, this château takes its name from Sieur Bonnet, alderman of the town of Mâcon, who built a manor house here in 1630, where Lamartine later stayed. Acquired by the Perrachon family in 1973, the estate comprises 22 ha of vines. Pierre-Yves Perrachon, head of the estate since 1988, was joined in 2013 by his daughter Charlotte, a nologue. He has also joined forces with a winegrower from the Mâconnais region to complete his operation with a trading structure, Bourgogne Sélect.

About the wine:
Both ripe and well-structured, this is a generous Chénas with very good depth, but also rather prominent tannins that can be difficult for some. It just needs a little time to harmonize. Long, firm finish. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now, but better from 2023.

A very pleasant wine, long and fat. Just a hint of acidity is needed for perfect balance. Good value for money.
