Henri Bonneau Estate

Henri Bonneau: rare wines

Henri Bonneau is a legend of the legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Although he passed away in 2016, he left behind a substantial wine legacy. The Henri Bonneau estate may only cover 6 hectares, but the man was a genius, with no financial logic whatsoever. In fact, the annual production of Henri Bonneau wines is in the region of 25,000 bottles. They are therefore relatively hard to find. That said, prices are affordable: depending on the vintage and appellation, bottles of Château Henri Bonneau sell for between €70 and €1,000.

The estate produces mainly reds, mainly Grenache (between 75% and 85%), as well as Cinsault, Counoise and Mourdrève. Henri Bonneau himself says he has no real technique in the production of these Rhône Valley wines. Fermentation takes place in concrete vats, using indigenous yeasts. The estate's best-known vintages are Cuvée Réserve des Célestins, Cuvée Marie Beurrier, Cuvée Marie and Clos de Tart. Some of these vintages, such as Pape Marie Beurrier or Roc des Anges, are particularly sought-after by Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine lovers.
