The Story

The massive and powerful Réserve des Celestins is generally sourced from Bonneau's vines in La Crau, whose boulder-strewn plateau produces Châteauneuf's ripest fruit. Cuvée Marie Beurrier, Bonneau's more elegant wine, usually comes from clay, limestone and sandy soils.

Inside Information

Parker 100 points: One of the greatest wines ever produced ... anywhere ... is the 1990. Having consistently merited 100 points (if my scoring system went higher, it would be there), it continues to perform like a young wine, yet is accessible enough to be appreciated for its extraordinary combination of power, complexity, and majestic layers of flavor. The color is a dark plum/ruby to the edge. The monumental bouquet offers up aromas of liquified charcoaled beef intermixed with pepper, smoke, creme de cassis, kirsch liqueur, truffles, and new saddle leather. This full-bodied, viscous, prodigious Chateauneuf du Pape must be tasted to be believed. It is more like a food than a beverage. Anticipated maturity: now-2030.
