The 9.5-hectare property of Château Bonalgue is planted to 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, with vineyards located just northeast of Libourne. Rated by Michel Rolland as ‘one of the best Bonalgues ever produced’, the 2018 vintage starts off with aromas of plums, liquorice, freshly cut flowers and a touch of smoke. On the palate, the wine is silky and refined, with layers of ripe red fruits and earthy notes. Drink from 2023 through to 2033.

The 2018 Bonalgue has one of the most backward bouquets that I encountered from the appellation in this vintage from bottle, requiring at least an hour’s aeration to reveal blackberry, loamy and truffle scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Here it picks up, offering lively black fruit and fine mineralité on the finish. This is an excellent Bonalgue, a great success for the estate. Just be patient with the aromatics.Neal Martin21st March 2021
