Tasting Notes: Old-school Châteauneuf with a pale garnet edge and aromas of dried cherry, garrigue herbs, leather and spice. Elegant and savory on the palate, with silky tannins and a long, evolving finish.
Notes: Bonneau's traditional, lighter-handed cuvée, aged in old oak for several years before bottling, with very little sulfur and no fining.
Food Pairing: Roast lamb, game birds, duck confit, mushroom dishes and aged cheeses.
Winery Story: Henri Bonneau is one of the most revered and reclusive names in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Working from a cellar in the village, he made long-aged, traditional Grenache-based wines in tiny quantities, and his bottles are sought after by collectors around the world.
