Château de Bonnezeaux 'Frimas' 2020
Regular price £35.00Château de Bonnezeaux is bringing the historic sweet wine vineyards of the Anjou back to life with its spellbinding, dry Chenin Blancs. Gaining a cult-like following, Guyonne Saclier de la Bâtie’s wines have garnered a must-have status almost overnight. Concentrated and richly layered, a result of meticulous late harvesting, they are balanced by Chenin’s hallmark acidity and saline minerality. ‘Frimas’ – an increasingly popular part-négociant cuvée – offers unrivalled finesse and value, but it is the single-parcel wines, ‘La Montagne’, ‘La Minée Haute’, and ‘Coquerie’ that are the apogee of the estate.
'Frimas' perfectly encapsulates the interplay between Chenin Blanc's creamy richness (apricot and pear notes) and its electric Granny Smith acidity. A vibrant, impeccably balanced standard bearer for dry wines from the Bonnezeaux appellation.
