Ch\u00e2teau La Nerthe, an exceptional setting to enjoy the stunning winter landscapes of the Rh\u00f4ne Valley<\/h2>\n

\"Chateau-La-Nerthe\"<\/p>\n

Imagine this.\u00a0 In the calm of winter, you leave the village of Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape heading south. In less than 2 km, you come upon an alley lined with cypresses, olive trees and holm oaks, before discovering a gorgeous park with magnificent plane trees and centuries-old pines. Nestled in the heart of this natural setting is the elegant 18th<\/sup> century residence of Ch\u00e2teau La Nerthe<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will remember the view from its terrace<\/a> <\/span>for a long time, as it is unparalleled in the Vaucluse. A true belvedere, from where you can see the Rh\u00f4ne to the west and to the east the impressive Mont Ventoux, the emblematic summit of Provence. You can also admire the Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape vineyards<\/a> <\/span>below, especially those of our Clos de Beauvenir, or catch a glimpse of the ancient city of Popes in the distance.<\/p>\n

And if you thought that our Rhone vineyard is motionless in the winter season, think again! During your visit, you may come across our winemakers busy pruning the vines. You will also learn about some of the Ch\u00e2teau’s commitments to biodiversity. You will be able to spot our nesting boxes designed to shelter chickadees, bats and owls when the temperatures drop, or meet some of our special guests: the sheep! Their grazing, mostly between January and March, enables the eco-friendly maintenance of the estate’s plots.<\/p>\n

Several offers for tasting exceptional Castel-Papal wines, in the heart of historical cellars<\/h2>\n

\"Caves-Chateau-La-Nerthe\"<\/p>\n

After savoring this idyllic setting, you may want to warm up at bit. What perfect timing! Now it’s time to explore the estate’s cellars<\/a>,<\/span> where our bottles are stored, and immerse yourself in our know-how: a fascinating journey into five centuries of history, deeply intertwined with that of the village. To cater to different tastes, we offer guests 3 different visiting experiences, followed by Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape wine tastings<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
