Henri Bonneau Réserve des Célestins Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2001

Antonio Galloni

Founder, Vinous

Bob Parker introduced me to this wine many years ago. Still mesmerizing and hauntingly beautiful in every way. Soaring in the glass, with tremendous complexity and tons of personality. (This is the 2001). Glad I have some left! So great to drink this with the Vinous team last week.

2001 vintage. Incredible. Best example of Bonneau Celestins I've had the pleasure of enjoying. Bravo

2001 vintage. First time go with this producer. Nice fill. Excellent cork. Decanted and throwing age-appropriate sed. Tasted after 15 mins, 45 mins and 1.5 hours. Light-medium body. Plenty of color. Slightly bretty with plenty of spice push throughout the back/finishing palate. Likely another half-decade at this level/intensity before (d)evolving. 02.20.25.

Fully mature. Complex. Garrigue, Sous Bois. Tea. Balsam. Time to drink these!

A gorgeously seductive nose with plums, rosemary, thyme and a lovely meatiness. On the palate, resolved dark gamey blue fruit with lovely complexity and a long, delicious finish. In that great zone of cool fruit chateauneuf where there’s so much going on but the power is in check. This is just delicious and fascinating stuff. As good as CNdP gets.
