Chateau Bonnet (andré Lurton)

Château de Rochemorin

Pessac-Léognan Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Deep yellow in colour, the 2014 Château Rochemorin from Pessac-Léognan sports a rich and honeyed nose with lime pickle, confit apple and the same aromas of French oak that you may find in the red wines of the region. 100% Sauvignon Blanc, on the palate, it’s lush, ripe and has a richness reminiscent of a white Rioja. Ultimately, it punches well above its weight - Rochemorin is an unclassified estate belonging to the André Lurton stable of La Louviere, and this bottle was around £15. At six years the wine is singing, but I’d actually love to try it after a few more years still of bottle age. I’m still a newbie to the whites of Bordeaux (much less so the reds...) so this is quite unlike any Sauv. B. I’ve tasted before. — 4 years ago

Château Bonnet

Divinus Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Eager to check back on the ‘05 vintage, the 2005 ‘Divinus’ by the talented André Lurton, is an impressive blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, sourced from vines roughly 20 years of age. Aged for eighteen months in French oak, this shows some lighter tertiary tones aromatically with peat moss and wild mushroom that mingle with the core of dark fruits that take shape in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, a bright acidity cuts through rather straightforward blackberry and black cherry flavors with minerals and shades of pipe tobacco on the palate. Light tannins frame this wine that shows well now and will provide drinking enjoyment over the next seven to ten years. Drink 2019-2025- 90 — 5 years ago

Château de Quantin

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

2018 vintage. From the André Lurton stable. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (50 /50). Nice concentration of black fruit, solid ripe tannin, balancing acidity and good spicy length. True to type and terrific value at 9 euros. — 4 years ago

Château de Rochemorin Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Comme disait ce cher André Lurton quand nous étions allés le visiter à Grézillac pour des vacances estivales champêtres en 1986: "Tu es né poussière et tu retourneras poussière."
Excellent.
