A tribute to the builder of Château Bonnet in 1630, the Confidence de l'Echevin cuvée is a selection of century-old vines planted around the Château. Revealed during vinification, the grapes are small, sweet, and very fragrant. As for the aging process, it softens the tannins that bring structure and freshness to this beautiful Chénas.

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.
