Chateauneuf Du Pape Blanc

Hake fillet with dill and fennel sauce, celery in a salt crust with curry cream or veal ‘blanquette’ with morels.

Loamy sandy soils dotted with large pebbles for finesse and aromatic expression. The presence near one of the few natural spring of the Châteauneuf du Pape designation as well as secular woods creates microcli- mate, warm in the day but cool at night, which allows to obtain white wines with strong personality.

Mostly in oak barrels and 1/2 muids for Roussanne and Grenache and partly in tank and barrels for Clairette and Bourboulenc in order to be aged on fine lees for almost 9 months. Final blending will be done just before the bottling.

Our grapes are hand picked fully ripe just to keep their balance and their aromatic expression. All the grapes are directly pressed in a pneumatic press for 3 hours. After 24 hours, the juice is racked and the fermentation at low temperature begins to protect all flavours.

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.
