Château Bonalgue is a small, family owned Pomerol estate managed by the Bourotte family, known for its consistent, classically styled Right Bank wines. The 7 hectare vineyard sits on well exposed gravel and clay soils, ideally suited to Merlot with Cabernet Franc as a supporting component. The wines are typically rich and supple, showing ripe plum, blackberry, and subtle earthy and truffle notes characteristic of Pomerol. Careful, traditional winemaking preserves texture and purity, with a focus on balance rather than excess extraction or oak influence.

This is an impressive Bonalgue, showing great structure, extract and muscular tannins and balancing freshness.
