Note : RVF Grande Réussite du Millésime 2009, Gerbelle & Maurange 15,5/20
"A complete wine with intense perfumes and a full mouth. Supple and already seductive". (La Revue du Vin de France - Spécial millésime 2009)." Vibrant ruby, cold granite nose. In this elegant cuvée, the two sexes will come together in the immediate sharing of a finely vinified gamay." (Les Meilleurs Vins à Petits Prix 2011). Pierre-Yves Perrachon once again delivers a top-flight Saint-Amour, in this exceptional 2009 vintage. A wine with a promise of pleasures to share for Valentine's Day!

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.
