With his first vintage in 1956, Henri became the 12th generation of his family to make wine in Châteauneuf du Pape. Only 6.5 hectares of vines spread among 13 different parcels most notably in La Crau and Courthezon. A traditionalist to the core, Bonneau’s wines are 90% Grenache, plus the balance in Mourvèdre, Syrah, Counoise and Vaccarese, aged in old French oak for 3-5 years. ‘Celestins’ debuted in 1927 is a selection of Bonneau’s finest barrels.
Looking at the barrels designated for the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve Célestins, which always comes from the famed la Crau lieu-dit, it offers a big, mouth-filling, chewy profile as well as classic dark fruits, garrigue, pot roast, pepper and cured meats aromas and flavors. It has lots of tannin, but everything is perfectly ripe, and this is a sensational looking effort. It’s worth noting that this will be the last wine ever vinified by Henri, and it certainly looks to be a fitting tribute to an incredible winemaker.
