Merchant's description
This 3-little bottle of the 2018 Château Bonalgue is a real centre piece for the table. Rated by oenologist Michel Rolland as ‘one of the best Bonalgues ever produced’, the wine starts off with aromas of plums, liquorice, freshly cut flowers and a touch of smoke. On the palate, the wine is silky and refined, with layers of ripe red fruits and earthy notes. Drink from 2023 through to 2033.
