Chateau La Nerthe
In the heart of Provence, in the south-east of France, 80 km north of Marseille, Château La Nerthe is a magical belvedere place, overlooked by its 18th century castle and 16th century cellars. Between Avignon and Orange, you can admire the Dentelles de Montmirail, Mont Ventoux and the Palais des Papes. The vineyard covers 92 hectares in the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation with more than 50 plots representing all of the appellation's terroirs. The Château appears unique and unforgettable, nestled in its green park, like an island surrounded by 60 hectares of historic vines in one piece. Despite its majestic appearance, the Château has always been a welcoming place conducive to moments of discussion around its wines.
Description
Limpid and brilliant colour with light green hints. First nose is exuberant with orchard fruits aromas (pear and yellow peach) immediately followed by citrus scents (yellow lemon). The creamy palate delivers exotic flavours of pineapple and vanilla. On the finish, this Cuvée marvelously marries elegance of the wines of Château La Nerthe with density of the vintage: the discreet oak touches underline the fine balance between the refreshing bitterness (citron) and plant roundness (anise).
Food Pairing
Hake fillet with dill and fennel sauce, celery in a salt crust with curry cream or veal ‘blanquette’ with morels.
