Château La Bonnelle | of | Vignobles Sulzer
Vineyard created in the middle of the 19th century in the SAINT EMILION appellation, Château LA BONNELLE belonged to our grandmother. Taken over in 1963 by François SULZER our father, it only had 6 hectares of Merlot and Cabernet Franc vinified in a cooperative.
In 1990, Olivier SULZER decided to begin his career as a winemaker there. The vineyard is expanded to reach 12.60 ha in the commune of Saint Pey D’Armens to the east of Saint Emilion.
