Château Bonnet - Beaujolais Blanc 2010

Sold individually
Drink or Keep
A Chardonnay as well cared for as the estate's Gamay: the vines have been cultivated using the "lutte raisonnée " method since 1999, and express themselves to the full on clay-loam soils. A rare wine in the appellation (white Beaujolais represents less than 1% of Beaujolais production), it's delicious, lively and fresh, with a spicy nose and aromas of fleurs blanches...

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (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 now boasts 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.
