One wine, one story. That is the credo of this venerable wine house that offers a range of 12 appellations from the southern Rhone Valley. Each wine has a link with a chapter in the history of this prestigious place, the Chartreuse de Bonpas, an historic monument that dates back to 1318.
The Bonpas style is warm, bathed in the sunshine of the South of France. Here, the Grenache Noir reigns supreme and is perfect blended with the region’s traditional varietals: Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Carignan. The wines stand out thanks to their fruitiness, concentration, richness in the mouth, and smooth tannins.
