A tribute to the builder of Château Bonnet in 1630, Confidence de l'Echevin is a parcel-by-parcel selection of century-old vines planted around the Château. Revealed during vinification, the grapes are small, sweet and highly perfumed. Ageing softens the tannins, bringing structure and freshness to this fine Chénas.

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.
