Chateau Bonnet by Andre Lurton
Andre Lurton inherited Chateau Bonnet in 1956 from his grandfather with approximately 65 acres of dilapidated vines. Since then Lurton had dedicated himself to replanting and restoring the vineyards that were planted by his forbearers. Today, Chateau Bonnet comprises nearly 500 acres of well-tended vines. Moreover, Lurton has constructed a vast wine empire, consisting of more than a dozen historical properties in Entre-Deux-Mers, Graves and St. Emilion. Among these renowned properties are the great Chateau La Louviere in Graves and until recently Clos Fourtet in Saint-Emilion, both historical properties that are now at the top of the Bordeaux hierarchy. And in order to continue his great success at Les Vignobles Andre Lurton, Andre has created a special wine-nursery, which produces over 200,000 vine plants each year to replenish his vineyards.
