Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Celestins Henri Bonneau 2006
Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Celestins Henri Bonneau 2006 is a dry, full-bodied red from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France), in the rich, smooth reds style. Tannins are moderate and acidity gentle; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 20-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with lamb, roast vegetables, beef stew, barbecue.

Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Célestins 2006 is a full-bodied red wine produced in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. Domaine Henri Bonneau is one of the iconic producers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape with just six hectares of vineyards split between the legendary La Crau and Couthézon sub-zones. Réserve des Célestins is the top cuvée of the domaine and a true collector`s item for French wine enthusiasts. "Exhibiting a dense ruby/purple colour, it is incredibly old-school on the nose with loads of roasted Provencal herbs, meat juice, plum sauce, game, and liquorice aromas all showing up. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a full, fleshy mid-palate, superb ripeness, and a solid finish, this textbook Chateauneuf du Pape opens up beautifully in the glass and is a joy to drink. With no hard edges and an approachable feel, it is superb now, but should also age gracefully for 12-15 years." Wine Advocate, 2013
