Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
The 1990 Cuvee Marie Beurrier is profound. Bonneau feels it is lighter than his Celestins, but in Bonneau's vocabulary, "light" means "massive!" This huge, concentrated wine possesses much of the same character as the 1990 Celestins, but it is slightly less tannic and powerful. However, it is unquestionably a wine of extraordinary size and enormous extract and richness. Anticipated maturity: now-2008.Additional Information

FranceThough French wines are the highest valued wines in the world, esteemed wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne were only enjoyed locally until 150 years ago when transportation improvements made them widely available. French wine production is governed by a strict quality-control system, which regulates the grapes used in each region and classifies wineries according to an elaborate cru hierarchy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc are just a few of the important grape varietals with roots in French soil. |
