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.

Back-Vintage Arrivals from Cayuse

Limited Quantities Won’t Last Long

Cayuse is one of the most in-demand wineries in North America, producing wines from both Rhône and Bordeaux varieties that are among the finest in the world and selling them almost exclusively through their mailing list. Even if you wanted to buy their wines directly off that list, you’d be looking at a long wait before getting an opportunity—so this is a rare treat.

We’re always on the hunt for more of these hyper-rare bottlings—and this set of wines is a prime example of why they’re so exciting.
