Château La Nerthe 2023

AOP Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The natural springs that border the estate make Château La Nerthe an exceptional, pure, and elegant white wine characterized by its promise of freshness.
The blend of Roussanne, grenache white, clairette, and bourboulenc grapes is perfect for delicate fish dishes like sea bream or sea bass.

Pale golden color with green hints. Lovely complexity of aromas on the nose : citrus notes (yellow lemon) and fresh almond mixed with floral scents (honeysuckle & jasmine). The mouth is fresh, with once more these touches of citrus (citron) along with fresh pear (Williams) flavours. Wood is perfectly integrated, the whole, sapid, stretches out on a long and persistent finish with slight minty feeling. A tonic wine to be enjoyed in its youth or after a few years of aging to finally discover all the intensity of the Château La Nerthe terroir!

Real opulence and weight on the palate, yet underneath there is a zip and liveliness that is then supported by the toasty-oak char on the finish. All balanced – a complete, rounded wine. (AC)

A blend of 44% Roussanne, 41% Grenache Blanc, 11% Clairette, and 4% Bourboulenc, it shows the softer style of the vintage and brings plenty of fruit while staying balanced, focused, and light on its feet. It’s a brilliant wine, and I suspect it will age gracefully over the coming decade or more.

C'est un Châteauneuf blanc 'dans le texte', qui coche toutes les bonnes cases, signé par de fins amers et des notes d'agrumes confits en finale.
