Though Bonneau considers the Cuvee Marie Beurrier to be less intense than his other cuvees, most tasters will find it a wine of enormous richness and thickness. It is a great bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape, with an exotic bouquet of herbs, chocolate, red fruits, and leather. In the mouth it is velvety, rich, and a true old, heady, blockbuster style of Chateauneuf. Anticipated maturity: now-2007. Last tasted 5/96.
