Henri Bonneau
Réserve des Célestins Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
From the great Henri Bonneau, along with Château Rayas, the master of CDP. (He and Jacques Reynaud were actually dear friends). It’s insanely expressive and its ultra intense aromatics leap from the glass.
The complex bouquet is layered with rich black and red fruit, leather saddle, wilted violets and savory herbs. It just floats on the palate with its supreme elegance, caressing texture and weightless intensity. So Burgundian in that sense. The finish is so long, lifted and intense, leaving you craving another sip when its flavors finally do dissipate. 04 Célestins is a total knockout.

RIP, Henri Bonneau. Here's hoping someone can keep the winemaking tradition of this estate going, because no one will ever make wine like this again.

Drink now.
