Château La Nerthe

Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge

This Château La Nerthe is harmonious and balanced: pretty red garnet color with purplish hints. On the nose, a mix of ripe red fruits (cherry) and vegetal scents (licorice, anise). Silky textured, the wine is round, pulpy, with noticeable but supple tannins offering red stone fruits (plum) and herbal notes (menthol) on the finish. On the whole 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.
