Notes: Henri Bonneau Marie Beurrier made its debut with the 1988 vintage. The wine, Marie Beurrier takes its name from an aunt of Henri Bonneau. The blend is made from approximately 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre, give or take as small portions of Syrah, Counoise, Vaccarese can also be included, or not depending on the vintage. The blend is almost similar to Réserve des Célestins, but nothing is fixed. The decision on which barrels end up being selected for the final blend is made shortly before bottling. The grapes are not destemmed, except in moderate or unripe vintages. Vinification takes place in traditional, concrete tanks. The wine is aged in a combination of old foudres and old as well as older French oak barrels for between 3 to 5 years. Every vintage is different and unique.
