Château Bonnet Rouge
Medium-bodied red🇫🇷 Bordeaux, France · Merlot-Cabernet blend

A plain-spoken claret with gravelly structure and a solemn dignity, the kind of bottle shared at French tables before the war. It matches Birdsong's reserve and its grief.

The Mood

A forbidden love in pre-war France collides with the horror of the Somme trenches. Passion and mortality share every page.
