Description
Chateau Bonnet is the family home for Andre Lurton wines, and his son Jacques Lurton still lives there today. As you would imagine, with it being part of the family, they make sure that the wines do the family name justice. You can find out just how good they are with this wonderful mixed case. 6 different wines as listed below.

The wines we sell don’t come off a never-ending production line, so there is always a tiny chance that one of the wines in the curated cases drops out of stock. If this happens, we will replace the missing wine with one of similar style and always a higher value; we don’t want you to lose out here.
What's inside?
Chateau Bonnet White, Rose & Red
The white is a deliciously fresh and inviting blend of Sauvignon and Semillon. It’s a classic example of the unoaked, every day drinking white wines that the French adore, and we seem to have forgotten about. I’d say it’s the perfect summer drop, but that ship has sailed.
The rose is a beautifully pale pink and an incredibly subtle and elegant wine with perfectly balanced acidity and delicate red fruits. Another wine which may have been more suited to summer, but hey, rosé is an all-year-round tipple these days.
The Red is Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon – We demolished a bottle of this with a Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, and it was superb. It’s the freshness, the brightness and the not-too-heavy-ness (is that really a thing?) that makes it such a fantastic wine. A cracker!
Chateau Bonnet Reserve White and Red
A red and a white with such a matching label (and both in dark glass!) that it’s sometimes hard to distinguish between which is which. This isn’t too much of a problem, as they are both fantastic. I drank as much as I could of the Reserve white whilst we were in Bordeaux because it is truly world-class. Sauvignon for freshness, Semillon for texture and oak for structure, the combination is magic, and I think this wine makes a superb alternative to white Burgundy yet at a much lower price. Fill ‘yer botts with this.
The red is Merlot dominated with a little Cabernet, which makes for a wine which is a little more fruit forward with velvety smooth edges and then that lovely little lift of the juicy Cabernet at the finish. Oak adds extra complexity and softness, and you could pop this away for a few years, or you could be very sensible and pop it in your glass and drink it.
Chateau Bonnet Divinus 2018
This is the flagship wine from the Chateau and is basically the winemaking team creating a wine to rival the class growths of the Medoc. The very best fruit is used, and no effort is spared in crafting something very special. The fruit is a little softer, yet the palate is more structured, and the oak integration is amazing. Anything of this quality from the left bank of Bordeaux is going to set you back at least twice the price. So it’s technically a bargain.
