Winemaker Jacques Lurton has just recently returned to Bordeaux after being passed the baton from his father to take over duties at the family business, Château Bonnet. I like to think that lessons learned, heritage and wisdom shared are found here, in this wine. This is an outstanding example of varietal cabernet franc, rich in red plum, raspberry and strawberry with a strewing of crushed gravel. The palate yields more of these splendidly consolidated flavours, in the manner of silk. Optimal balance, it washes over glossy with some dried chilli spice contributing to the structural integrity, harmonious but powerful. A very beautiful wine. Katrina Butler, 96/100 GOLD
