Château Bonnet - Moulin-à-Vent Vieilles Vignes 2018
90/100
Wine Enthusiast
This expertise is once again demonstrated with this Gamay cuvée, made from grapes grown on average 60 years old on weathered granite, foothills, and ancient alluvial soils. Violet, cherry, and kirsch express themselves on the nose before revealing a fruity, full-bodied palate with fine but present tannins. Full of character and everything to please.

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.

Review and opinion by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on 02/01/2023
An excellent entry-level Moulin-à-Vent AOP with a Gamay character of ripe red berries and a delicious palate. I recommend it.

Review and opinion by Mr. PATRICK G. Published on 04/19/2021
High in alcohol for a Beaujolais, quite closed, typical Gamay flavor, to be reviewed in at least two years.
