Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Célestins 2010 is a full-bodied red wine from 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. The domaine`s wines are produced mainly from Grenache with small quantities of Mourvèdre, Counoise and Vaccarèse. First made in 1927, the Réserve des Célestins is the top cuvée and most sought-after wine of the domaine. On the 2010. "Saturated ruby. Intense mineral- and spice-accented aromas of candied black and blue fruits, floral pastilles and spicecake. Velvety and expansive on the palate, with powerful black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors lifted and sharpened by juicy acidity. Shows outstanding depth and focus on the tenacious finish, with supple, harmonious tannins coming in late. Conveys a surprisingly cuddly personality for a `10 but this highly concentrated wine has plenty of structure for aging." Vinous, 2015

The 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve des Célestins is nowhere near its prime drinking window, demanding several hours in the glass to start revealing some of its nuances. Brooding and sophisticated, it gradually releases ripe blackberry, wild strawberry, dried lavender, tobacco, forest floor and a little beeswax. Oddly, there’s also a touch of mocha, yet Bonneau always claimed to use old oak with a minimum of four years' age for his red Châteauneufs. Closing with compelling length on the powerful finish, the 2010 is a roaring Réserve des Célestins that will reward patience.Nicolas Greinacher1st November 2024
