Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Very pretty fruit. Silky texture. Full-bodied. Great delicacy. Superb.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2019 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
Very low yields certainly explain the full-bodied, vigorous character of this Chénas. The tannins, still very firm, will require a little patience to gain in roundness. However, the wine as a whole is not lacking in delicacy, with its charming aromas of ripe black fruit.
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 nologist. 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:
It may be a light red, but it reveals sparkling blackberry notes and well-balanced acidity. The slightly seductive finish calls for a lovely picnic. Drink now.

Almost a little too complex for what you'd expect... But the wine itself is excellent.
