Chateau La Nerthe - Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Cuvee des Cadettes' Red 2019

Wine Region: Rhone Valley - France

Grape: Blend of Grenache, Syrah

Tasting notes:Plush, lush, ripe, silky and rich, the wine is loaded with layers of lusciously textured, dark red berries, licorice, smoke and earth. There is volume, length and a finish that keeps on coming with its waves of fruits. This is going to age and evolve quite nicely..

Expert Reviews: 
Wine Enthusiast 94/100
A complete expression from 80-year-old vines in this focused GSM blend. Its purity is reminiscent of a perfect brunch experience, but in a glass. Red and black berry jam with fine barrel spices seduces the nose and palate, and demonstrates its aging potential for years to come. Easily cellar well through 2035.

About the winery: 

For five centuries, the history of Château La Nerthe and Châteauneuf-du-Pape have melded into one. 

After leaving Châteauneuf-du-Pape, head south about 2 km, then go up the alley that winds between vines, evergreen oaks, cypresses, and olive trees to Château La Nerthe, nestled among majestic plane trees and hundred-year-old pines.

To the west, the Rhône as it continues its course towards the Mediterranean, less than 100km to the south. To the east is Mont Ventoux, the giant of Provence from the top of its 1912 m. To the south, Avignon city of the Popes. To the north, Orange, a Roman town with its ancient theater and Roman triumphal arch.
