The Rhône: 1994-2017
Bonneau, Chave, Gonon, Jamet & More

For me, we're entering the prime season for Rhône wines. With that in mind, I took a spin through our inventory to compile the list below. 

"The appellation’s greatest guardian of traditional winemaking" - 2007 Henri Bonneau Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Celestins

Bonneau's wines exist on another level, especially Célestins. They are peerless and singular Châteauneufs. Bonneau's unyielding traditionalism reaches its zenith in the Célestins bottling.

2010 Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Anytime that I have the opportunity to sit down with one of Bonneau's wines I get very excited. They are some of the most magical and soulful wines around. He was the grand old wise man of the Southern Rhône. There is simply nothing like Bonneau's Châteauneufs. I write all of this with a fair amount of melancholy. Sadly, Henri Bonneau passed away this March.
