Description

Château Bonnange Organic Bordeaux Red Wine, 100% Malbec: dark fruit and spices

Château Bonnange Malbec is an organic red wine from the Bordeaux appellation that stands out for its single-varietal blend. There is no Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon here: the wine is made from 100 per cent Malbec. This distinctive feature allows you to discover a lesser-known facet of the Bordeaux vineyards and to better appreciate the character of this historic grape variety. The estate, situated in Saint-Martin-Lacaussade in Gironde, produces various cuvées centred around iconic grape varieties and seeks to express the precise, natural character of its terroirs.

Its organic status is another key feature of this cuvée. Château Bonnange has been certified organic since 2022. The estate states that it works with respect for nature and the soil, adopting a natural approach to winemaking. This philosophy is part of a commitment to allowing the unique characteristics of the grape varieties and plots to express themselves to the full.

On tasting, this red Bordeaux displays a deep, intense colour. Its aromatic profile is dominated by ripe black fruits, with notes of blackberry and blackcurrant, interwoven with spicy and floral nuances. The aromatic profile retains a lovely freshness that prevents any sense of heaviness. On the palate, it is smooth and generous, with a rich body and silky tannins. A pleasant freshness complements the fruit and provides a lively finish.

The style of Château Bonnange Malbec makes it a particularly interesting wine for the table. Its structure allows it to pair well with grilled or roasted red meats, particularly a fine cut of beef. It also pairs well with duck breast, slow-cooked dishes, mushroom-based dishes or matured hard cheeses. A brief aeration can help the wine develop its fruity and spicy notes further.

With its Bordeaux appellation, organic certification and 100 per cent Malbec composition, this cuvée offers something original within the world of Bordeaux red wines. It is aimed both at Bordeaux enthusiasts looking to move beyond traditional blends and at Malbec aficionados keen to discover a different expression of the grape variety.
