### Bonnezeaux (AOC)

#### Loire Valley, France

Bonnezeaux is a controlled designation of origin (AOC) located in the renowned wine region of the Loire Valley, France. This area is known for its sweet wines, and Bonnezeaux is a perfect example. Primarily made from the Chenin Blanc grape, Bonnezeaux wine is often regarded as a complex and elegant nectar, with a rich palette of flavours ranging from candied fruits to honey and white flower aromas.

The production of Bonnezeaux relies on meticulous late harvesting, sometimes accompanied by the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which concentrates the sugars and intensifies the aromas. This unique process gives rise to wines with excellent ageing potential, capable of improving over decades in the cellar.

For wine enthusiasts or cellar managers, Bonnezeaux represents a prestigious choice. Wines from this appellation are highly sought after and seamlessly fit into a well-thought-out cellar management strategy. Adding a few bottles of Bonnezeaux can enhance the value and diversity of any wine collection.
