Information

40 years old vines of Grenache(95%) from the vineyard "La Clau"(considered as the best parcel of Chateauneuf du Pape). Only 18hl/ha extremely low yield makes great concentration. 2005 vintage has unusually strong structure. It has long aging potential. Again, 2005 is special and this wine is released irregularly, not every year. When he needs small money, wine is bottled. It seems that he has no problem with money for a while, so we should not miss this chance.

RP91-94
The dense ruby/purple-colored 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Marie Beurrier possesses fabulous fruit, very good acidity, a tightly-knit, tannic style with plenty of power and richness, but it remains firm. It will undoubtedly spend another two years in ancient wood, so the tannins will no doubt soften, and the wine should expand in flavor as well as texture. It will not be drinkable for 7-8 years, but it should age for 25-30 years. Drink : 2014-2037

I can’t say enough about the great Henri Bonneau, who seems to be a bigger-than-life character in the spiritual rather than physical sense, and who is an inspiration for every young producer in the Rhone Valley. It is a privilege to taste there, and I am thrilled with how well the tastings went this year.(eRobertParker)
