Gaec Henri Bonneau et Fils

Les Rouliers Vin de Table de France Grenache Blend

See notes from 58 weeks ago. This is the 3rd ranked Cuvée from Henri Bonneau. The difference with this wine this was more Animale than the garrigue in the earlier wine. This was more stinky and barnyard than the rosemary and thyme a year ago. Despite this it remains a delicious wine with spicy red berries and resolved tannins on the palate. Not the raspberry notes you get with new world Grenache. This is an NV so not sure of the vintages which were included here. I first tried his leading Cuvée, Celestines, in a restaurant in Mondragon in Chateauneuf du Pape, and it remains a Wow Wine but hard to locate in this country. — 4 years ago

MoVe Mondragon-Venezia di Perenzin Gabriele

Mondragon Tranquillo White Blend

Апельсиновая корка, мандарин, курага, йогурт, маракуйя, абрикос, салат фризе, дрожжи. Полно, ароматно, ярко, немного парфюмированно, без выраженных танинов. Естественно и чисто, ярко, с жевкой консистенцией и свежей фруктовостью. Честно и открыто, живо, с хорошим балансом, довольно прямолинейно, без аналитической глубины. — 6 years ago

Yes, it’s pretty evocative, even if not really Delectable-friendly. Well, there is no info (literally 0) on this wine on the internet either, so no big deal 😜 @MaJ CappS

Henri Bonneau

Réserve des Célestins Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2005

From the enigmatic Henri Bonneau. A wow wine for me. 100% ripe Grenache (14.5% alcohol). Meaty and herbal. Needs time. Drunk at Le Beaugraviere Mondragon. — 10 years ago
