Chateau Bonnet Saint-Amour Vieilles Vignes, Beaujolais, France 2015

Description

From the northernmost cru of Saint Amour in Beaujolais, the 2015 Chateau Bonnet Vieilles Vignes reflects the warmth and concentration of a generous vintage. Sourced from old vines, the wine carries added depth while retaining the aromatic charm of Gamay.

The nose opens with ripe red cherry, raspberry, and crushed strawberry, layered with violet, dried herbs, and a touch of spice. With time in bottle, subtle notes of earth and dried leaves emerge. The palate is medium bodied, with supple tannins and balanced acidity that provide structure without austerity.

The finish is smooth and moderately persistent, marked by red fruit and gentle savory nuance. A mature and expressive cru Beaujolais from France, offering ripeness and refinement in equal measure.
