This Château La Nerthe is harmonious and balanced: pretty red garnet colour with purplish hints. On the nose, a mix of ripe red fruits (cherry) and vegetal scents (liquorice, anise). Silky textured, the wine is round, pulpy, with noticable but supple tannins offering red stone fruits (plum) and herbal notes (menthol) on the finish. The whole confirms a solar vintage but without excess of alcohol or dryness, the wine reveals on the contrary balance with a nice freshness to watch for a decade or more.

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.
