The 2021 Bonnezeaux vintage stands out as superb, a true feat in a year defined by extreme climatic challenges. Following a frosty and rainy spring that severely reduced yields, producers who dared to focus on sweet wines were rewarded with an exceptionally sunny and dry late season. Harvesting, carried out with meticulous precision, allowed for the collection of grapes with remarkable potential alcohol levels between 19 and 21, resulting in sweet wines of rare intensity. Though limited in quantity, this 2021 vintage shines with exceptional aromatic concentration, blending notes of candied fruits, citrus, and a refined hint of honey. Compared to other sweet wines from the Loire Valley, such as Coteaux du Layon or Quarts de Chaume, Bonnezeaux 2021 rivals the finest, positioning itself as a must-have for discerning connoisseurs. A complex harvest but a dazzling result: 4.1/5.
