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
Intense and bright dark red colour. On the nose, aromas of black fruits (boysenberries, blackcurrant), with fairly present and spicy woody notes testifying to the large proportion of Mourvèdre in this vintage. The palate is rich, deep with sharp and precise tannins. Fruity and vegetal notes of mulberries and eucalyptus reveal themselves with finesse. Plenty of elegance in this wine: the solar and warm side of the vintage is balanced by Mourvèdre grape freshness. Classy wine, with a highly neat finish, reveals great aging potential, a promise for the decades to come!
Food Pairing
With bull rib, hare stew with ‘Grand Veneur’ sauce.
