Owned for generations by the Sulzer family, Chateau la Bonnelle organically farms its 30+ acres of vines, most of which are over 40 years old. They age their wine for 18 months in oak, some of which comes from the Sulzer's own trees, grown on a family estate in Dordogne. La Bonnelle has received praise from Oz Clarke, Decanter and won Gold at the Concours de Paris.
