Our viticultural methodes
In the 18th century, this renowned terroir was referred to as the “Graves de Bonalgue”, the gravel being fluvial deposits from the Quaternary period that allow for optimal drainage. Placed on sand or clay, a formidable natural water regulator, they are the hallmark of Château Bonalgue, and continue to add to the elegance and charm of recent vintages.
Bonalgue gravel
A Pomerol sans doute le Merlot exprime avec une aisance et un éclat incomparables le velours de ses tanins et la richesse de ses arômes de fruits rouges. Il est en majesté à Bonalgue, mais le Cabernet Franc, récemment replanté et issu de sélection massale, le complète de sa fraicheur et renforce la complexité aromatique de l’assemblage.
Les cépages
Château Bonalgue has always been known for the charm of its aromas and being precise is the only way to maintain them. The grapes are hand-picked into small crates followed by double sorting and using meticulous measurements during fermentation. The wine is then carefully aged in French oak barrels, protected from the air and with low amounts of added sulphur.
