NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a stunning and elegant expression of the appellation.The nose is full of ripe red and black fruits, with notes of sweet spices, leather, and garrigue. On the palate, there are intense flavors of ripe dark cherry, blackberry, and a hint of licorice. The tannins are soft and supple, and the finish is long and lingering. This is an outstanding example of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and one that will continue to impress with its complexity and balance.

ORIGINS

Winery: Henri Bonneau

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
