Domaine Henri Bonneau is one of the most revered and historic producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with deep roots in the region dating back several generations. The domaine is known for its meticulous approach to viticulture and vinification, cultivating some of the most old-vine, low-yielding plots in the appellation. Henri Bonneau was famous for his traditional methods, using minimal intervention and aging his wines in large oak casks for extended periods, a technique that has contributed to the wines’ complexity, richness, and longevity.

The Cuvée des Célestines, one of the domaine’s most prestigious cuvées, is made from the estate's oldest vines and the best plots of land, showcasing the unique terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The 2007 vintage, which was particularly warm and dry, presents a wine of intense richness and power. It features dark fruit notes of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, with a hint of garrigue and herbaceous spice. The wine is structured with fine, velvety tannins, balanced by vibrant acidity, making it a harmonious, elegant expression of the region. This wine is approachable now, but its true potential will unfold with further cellaring, where it will continue to evolve in depth and complexity.
