2012 vintage drunk late 2025. It holds up. Thirteen years old and still fresh and delicious. Sadly my last bottle. It will be missed. — 13 days ago
Needed at least 2 hours before it opened up but then marvelous. — 5 days ago
Opened up after a hour pulling cork. Very rustic as first, moving into a sold wine, but not classic Volnay silk — a month ago
So good! Kenlee brought for Christmas dinner in Manila. Can buy from duty free in the airport — 10 days ago
I remember having this wine for the first time in a restaurant outdoors under a tree for lunch in Gigondas with the family many years ago. It was a Wow wine. I have since collected a few bottles and decided to have this one over the weekend with Lamb Shanks. Nose not giving a lot initially but eventually a red and black fruited savoury perfume. Such concentration and richness on the full bodied palate featuring raspberry, plum and spice finishing with supple tannins in this predominantly Grenache blend. The previous bottle I had of this in Australia had notes of barnyard and manure (possibly traces of Brett) but no sign of that in this bottle. Always a treat to have a Bonneau Celestins. — a month ago

Absolutely on fire with lemon zest and acidity, ripe fruit, a finish that echoes. Used to be the value grand cru white. This still has the Premier Cru strip label. — 14 days ago
