Henri Bonneau’s Legendary CdP
The 2012 Célestins Arrives Friday
Henri Bonneau is a producer without peer in the Southern Rhône. No other winemaker has produced as many epic bottles in the last 30 years. We’ve just secured a small, 6-bottle parcel of one of his signature bottlings, Célestins, arriving later this week. These bottles offer exceptionally rare opportunities to experience what Jeb Dunnuck describes as “the essence of traditionally made Châteauneuf-du-Pape”.
“[Henri Bonneau’s] Châteauneufs have become legends in their maker’s lifetime, and anyone fortunate enough to try them can attest to the fact that these wines are utterly unique examples of the category, as well as some of the most idiosyncratic wines being made anywhere today.
