The 2021 vintage from Bonnezeaux is simply superb, defined by an exceptional late season that allowed for a harvest of rare quality. Despite a challenging year across the Loire, with spring frosts and increased climatic pressures, Bonnezeaux producers fully capitalized on the ideal conditions of a dry, sunny autumn. The grapes, harvested at 19 to 21 potential alcohol degrees, reflect extraordinary concentration, showcasing the richness and elegance that define this appellation. The 2021 sweet wines, rare due to low yields, stand out with remarkable aromatic purity, blending exotic fruits, honey, and subtle minerality. Compared to other Loire sweet wines, such as Quarts-de-Chaume or Coteaux du Layon, Bonnezeaux 2021 shines with exceptional depth and balance, placing this vintage among the region’s recent triumphs. Rating: 4.1/5.
