The pinnacle of the St Amour appellation, Côte de Besset is made from 60-year-old vines. Vinified from whole bunches, this cuvée opens with notes of raspberry and wild strawberry. A fruity, supple and elegant wine to discover.

Expert opinion

Rated wine (2019 guide) Cited (Vintage 2017) (Successful wine)
Domain rated (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 comprises 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.
