Château BONNANGE Cuvée SILICE White Bordeaux Wine 2020 75 cl

Description

This Cuvée Silice from Château BONNANGE vintage 2020 is for us in the top 10 of what is currently best with Sauvignon in Bordeaux White. You will love the power and precision of the aromas of this 100% Sauvignon white wine from this estate which continues to establish itself among the greats of Bordeaux while still offering affordable prices given the quality of its production.

The palate is ample, precise and balanced. Beautiful fresh and slightly saline notes enliven the tasting, this is the mark of its terroir of plots of siliceous limestone and silty clay. The density comes from a very low yield oscillating between 20 and 25 hectoliters per hectare with the addition of a few botrytized grape berries. The vinifications are prepared in cold stabilization on fine lees for 48 hours, then alcoholic fermentation takes place in barrels. No malolactic fermentation in order to preserve the freshness that characterizes this wine. Aging for 8 months with daily stirring ensures this wine has this fullness and richness.

The color is deep yellow with slightly golden notes. The nose is very intense, with notes of white fruits including pear and peach that are immediately evident. In the mouth we find the impression of power that the nose provides, to which are added notes of citrus fruits and ripe apricot while retaining a lot of freshness. The finish is very very long.
