Chateau Bonnet Eden 2023

This wine is a lovely cherry red, with some violet highlights. The nose is marked by notes of peony, crisp fruit (cherry), enhanced by a hint of peppery notes. There is a very nice volume in the middle of the mouth with well blended tannins. The red fruits, including cherry, previously perceived on the nose, are found here in the mouth. It is a digestible wine and very easy to drink.

2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.
