Domaine Henri Bonneau 2009

WineSaint
Uncharacteristically open and giving for this domaine. Red fruit compote flows with anise and crushed flowers in a silky, approachable style. The tannins are ripe and welcoming rather than the estate's typical brooding power. Sweet, long finish shows beautiful integration.

→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.
