Château La Nerthe
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France
A red Rhône blend that showcases the beauty of Châteauneuf-du-Pape
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Château La Nerthe
Rhône Red Blend
Red wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape are a blend of many grapes. This wine from Château La Nerthe has a complexity that's achieved by the grape varieties and the excellence of the terroirs. Winemaking without artifice promotes length and finesse rather than power and concentration. Aging in large casks, wooden vats, and barrels confers a superb balance between freshness and mature tannins, resulting in wines with great aging potential. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault dominate the blend and give birth to an intense wine with extraordinary aging potential. The color is a dense garnet, while the intense bouquet reveals aromas of cherry and wild strawberry with notes of spices and garrigue. The tannins have a soft, delicate texture.

WINE REGION:
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Rich, spicy and powerful—three good reasons why France's Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines are beloved around the world. The Southern Rhône's largest appellation was the first in France to require production rules, making it the first AOC. While there are 13 permitted grape varieties a winemaker here can choose from, many of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's red wines are made from pure Grenache, with Mourvèdre and Syrah also featuring heavily. The climate is warm and Mediterranean-influenced, with hot days, cool nights and drying winds to keep grapes healthy. This gives the vineyards ideal conditions, aided by rocky soils and galets roulés stones, which soak up the daytime heat to radiate it back to the vines at night.

TASTING NOTES:
Strawberry
Blackcurrant
Cherry
The dark, deep, inky color of the wine immediately shows the concentration of the vintage. The nose of blackcurrants, black tea, dried flowers definitely stands out. The mouth is rich, fruity, velvety, with an incredibly layered tannin structure. The wine is balanced, pure, intense, and has incredible aging potential.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Château La Nerthe
Château La Nerthe is located in the heart of the Provence region in southeast France, about 80 km north of Marseille. It is a magical place thanks to its cellars dating back to the 16th century and the belvedere viewpoint dominated by the 18th-century Château. Between Avignon and Orange, we find the breath-taking landmarks of Les Dentelles de Montmirail, Mount Ventoux, and the Palais des Papes. The vines spread over 92 hectares of Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, parcelled into more than 57 plots and representing all the different terroirs of the appellation. The Château is striking and unforgettable, nestled in its green park, like an island surrounded by 60 hectares of ancient vineyards that form one whole piece.
