FEATURES

🏰Henri Bonneau was a legendary, critically acclaimed producer of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and his Cuvée Marie Beurrier is a 【richly flavored, dense, and complex wine】, often described as his "La Tâche" to his "Romanée-Conti" (Célestins). The 1988 vintage, from this 12th-generation winemaker, showcases his traditional methods, heavily favoring Grenache (around 90% of the blend) and long aging in old foudres and barrels. Bonneau famously released wines only when he believed them ready. 🍴 Excellent with roasted game, rich stews, lamb, or strong, aged cheeses. 🥂 A profound wine for a special celebration, a gathering of Rhône wine enthusiasts, or a memorable dinner. 【Kindly note that for a wine of this venerable age, bottle variation can be significant. The condition of the cork and capsule is paramount, and while every effort is made to ensure quality, the enjoyment of such a historic vintage is part of its unique charm and inherent risk.】

BACKGROUND

Henri Bonneau owns 6.5 hectares of vines spread among 13 different parcel in the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation of the Rhône Valley, France. Most of his vines, approximately 90% are devoted to Grenache. The remainder of their vineyards is planted to a mix of Mourvedre, Syrah, Vaccarese, and Counoise. Henri Bonneau, who died in 2016, was a critically acclaimed Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer. Bonneau was the twelfth-generation winemaker in the family, which has an extensive history in the southern Rhône.
