Right from the attack, this Réserve des Célestins from Henri Bonneau delivers a noble substance, patinated by time, where the 2007 vintage now expresses a remarkable fullness. The nose opens with black cherry and sweet pepper, before sliding toward complex nuances of noble undergrowth carried by a silky texture of immense finesse. A Châteauneuf-du-Pape with superb poise, whose current balance guarantees many more years of aging.
