In this great transitional vintage, the Cuvée Marie Beurrier from Henri Bonneau asserts a remarkable stature where the maturity of the 2000 vintage translates today into an admirably melted texture. This Châteauneuf-du-Pape delivers a complex score of fresh blackberry and fine licorice, enhanced by a mineral touch that extends the tasting. Its slender finish and impeccable poise testify to a slow evolution and a very beautiful persistence on the palate.
