The richness really comes through on the finish

The nose of this nascent beauty was locked up tight for the first few minutes

It has a fresh bouquet with honeysuckle and yellow flower aromas

These two new releases from proprietor Roberto Conterno are stellar

this is already in its prime time drinking window

Henri Bonneau, Chateauneuf Du Pape Reserve Celestins other_regions The richness really comes throughMedium bodied and quite forward for Bonneau Celestins, the wine is perhaps more interesting on the nose with its blast of garrigue, kirsch and thyme scented perfume. Soft, open and fruity, with a hint of black pepper in the cherry centric, earthy finish, this is already in its prime time drinking window. This is a nice Chateauneuf, but not a great vintage for Celestins.
