A vintage Henri always loved, so the new administration has reproduced Henri's father's label and placed 'Hommage à Henri Bonneau' on it, as a kind of collector's item. Much silkier than the Marie Beurrier with lovely acidity and sense of finesse. An underrated vintage. It has a lovely driving tanginess with a touch of volatility that gives grip and liveliness. At late maturity this should become quite Pinot-esque.

In contrast, the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve des Célestins is a significant step up and has ample density and depth, as well as medium to full-bodied richness; the wine has lots of sweet kirsch and cherry fruits, garrigue and peppery aromas and flavors. In addition, the tannin is sweet and polished, and it has more concentration, depth and richness than most in the vintage.
