Vertical, cool, blue. Tightly knit structure holds everything in place. Power and elegance at the same time. Dark red cherry fruit and garrigue notes in a mineral driven frame. Wonderful. With Niels at La Contadine.

Stunning, again. Tasted vis a vis the basic neuf, this comes out not as s bigger wine, but rather more intense even more mineral-driven with a very true local feel. There is plenty of ripe Grenache here, this is a grand Bonneau-wine, dark and worthy. #Bagnols-en-Forêt#PB

This is the real McCoy. Old School neuf, vraiment Bonneau, old vine Grenache speaks here, the sweetness of the fruit, the blood of the stones ... #Bagnols-en-Forét#PB

Lovely, old-school Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is dark fruited, with marks of garrigue, dark olives and soil. Everything is in balance, fruit, tannins, acidity. Will live on for many years, grand vin in a bottle.

Grand vin. A nose of dark olives, garrigue, dark cherry fruit, leather, spices. Cool and vertical, with good acidity and soil components, this is vraiment old-school Neuf. Love it!
