The Réserve des Célestins is crafted exclusively in vintages deemed exceptional by Henri Bonneau, primarily sourced from the prestigious plateau of La Crau, often regarded as the closest equivalent to a Grand Cru in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Expect a fascinating nose of dried herbs, figs, and strawberry jam. The palate is rich and perfectly balanced, showcasing a festival of wild herbs that imparts a magnificent aromatic complexity, with delightful fullness and appeal.

Deep ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes blackberry and cherry preserves, candied flowers, licorice and incense, with a bright mineral overtone. Stains the palate with sappy, spice-tinged dark berry and fruitcake flavors that are deepened by a suggestion of fruitcake. At once ripe and lively, finishing with superb energy and length and supple, building tannins. This is surprisingly graceful for a 2007 Chateauneuf, especially at this stage when most of them have gone to sleep or at least are in a sullen mood.Josh Raynolds1st January 2014
