Why We're Buying
Plain and simple, Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve des Célestins is a killer wine. It's rich, concentrated, and complex. It opens with intense candied red fruit that brings along Asian spice, minerally notes, and fresh-cut flowers. As wine critic Robert Parker said in 2011, "the elixir that comes out of the (Henri Bonneau) barrels never ceases to amaze."
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Reminding me of the 1992 and a resounding success in the vintage, The 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Celestins is a seamless, elegant and beautifully complex effort thats worth seeking out. Offering up notions of sandalwood, sweet cherries, pepper and exotic spice, it is medium-bodied, elegant and silky on the palate. Finesse-driven, with terrific complexity and nuance, this beauty is already accessible and a joy to drink. Enjoy it over the coming decade or more.
