Chateau de Bonhoste

Chateau de BonhosteChateau de Bonhoste, with its 44 hectares of vineyards, extends over the hillsides overlooking the Dordogne, 45 km from Bordeaux and 6 km south of St. Emilion. Its clay-chalk soil is blessed with vines which produce the most beautiful, harmonious Bordeaux wines: 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc for the reds; 55% Sémillon, 40% Sauvignon, and 5% Muscadelle for the whites. Chateau de Bonhoste cultivates its vines using traditional methods, with restrained yield, and controlled ripening to preserve the authenticity of production, as well as allowing the characteristics of the 'terroir' to come through.

ChaiThe work is skilled and meticulous, based on the great tradition of Bordeaux wine-making. All of this is further enhanced by the wonderful, underground cellars where the wine is stored for several months in bottle before being labelled prior to delivery.
