Tasting notes
The 2023 Chateau La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc offers a bright, pale gold color with green highlights. The nose is complex, with aromas of white peach, almond, hazelnut, and subtle smoky notes. The palate is balanced, with fresh fruit like nectarine, balanced by a rich, creamy texture. It has a long, elegant finish with notes of minerality and a touch of salinity.
More About The Winery
With a history stretching back over five centuries, Château La Nerthe is one of the most iconic estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nestled among olive trees, cypresses, and century-old pines just south of the village, La Nerthe embodies both the beauty and the heritage of Provence. Its vineyards, framed by the Rhône River to the west and Mont Ventoux to the east, benefit from exceptional terroirs of galets roulés (large rounded stones), sand, and clay-limestone soils.
The domaine cultivates the traditional varieties of the appellation — Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Roussanne, Clairette, and others — producing both powerful, age-worthy reds and elegant whites of great finesse. Known for their balance of richness, freshness, and complexity, La Nerthe’s wines are admired worldwide as benchmark examples of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
A pioneer in sustainable viticulture, the estate is fully certified organic, ensuring that every bottle reflects the integrity of its land and the legacy of its history.
