All things nice

An airy red pinot fruit nose nuanced by a lovely mix of game

Henri Bonneau, Chateauneuf Du Pape Reserve Celestins other_regions with a honeyed quince characterMedium bodied and quite forward for Bonneau Celestins, the wine is perhaps more interesting on the nose with its blast of garrigue, kirsch and thyme scented perfume. Soft, open and fruity, with a hint of black pepper in the cherry centric, earthy finish, this is already in its prime time drinking window. This is a nice Chateauneuf, but not a great vintage for Celestins.
