Marie Beurrier 2016

Bonneau

Case Format: 12x75cl

Henri Bonneau is one of the true legends of Châteauneuf du Pape. Bonneau’s Châteauneufs, particularly the mythic Réserve des Célestins, are not only fantastically complex, immense and capable of decades of development; they are also endowed with that rare and magical sense of extra dimension found only in the greatest wines.

Henri represents the 12th generation of his family to make wine in Châteauneuf du Pape, dating back to 1667, and his methods today continue to have more in common with the 17th century than with contemporary winemaking. This is an elegant and refined Châteauneuf du Pape, with silken texture and cool waves of spice-tinged red fruits and wild Mediterranean herbs.

Jeb Dunnuck

A vintage vinified by Marcel Bonneau, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Marie Beurrier sports a healthy purple color as well as terrific aromas and flavors. Garrigue, kirsch liqueur, pepper, and gamey notes all emerge from this charming, balanced, medium to full-bodied barrel sample. It’s early days for the 2016s in this cellar, but it a good start.
