Château La Nerthe 2015
AOP Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Château La Nerthe, Châteauneuf-du-Pape red, is the soul of the estate’s wines. It has been exported across the globe since the eighteenth century. All the plots of grenache noir, syrah, mourvèdre, and cinsault grapes are planted across the different soil types within the wine appellation, making the style of this wine the full expression of the complexity of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It pairs wonderfully with rare meat, Provencal classics, or other elaborate dishes made with sauce.
Captivating nose with a seductive bouquet: pastry aromas (clafoutis, muffin, cherries, blackberries) underscored by hints of leather and smoke. Delicate palate with a juicy attack followed by a beautiful tannic structure polished by a decade of aging, offering great length. The finish is salivating, revealing cherry pit, camphor, licorice, and spicy notes. A very fine wine suited for gastronomy, approaching its peak and representing its Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir admirably.
