Domaine Henri Bonneau Marie Beurrier 2005

Red
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France
8.0
WineSaint

Surprisingly open and expressive for such a young Châteauneuf, showing gorgeous depth and refinement. Wild cherry and dark berries flow with exotic spices and smoky undertones. The finish carries beautiful sappy sweetness with remarkable persistence. This has the structure and complexity to develop magnificently over the next two decades.

Domaine Henri Bonneau

Henri Bonneau is among Châteauneuf-du-Pape's most mythologized producers, releasing wines on no fixed schedule and aging them as long as he sees fit. Réserve des Célestins is one of the appellation's benchmark reds.
