Château La Nerthe Chateauneuf Du Pape Red 2019 (France)

Château La Nerthe, Châteauneuf-du-Pape red, is the soul of the estate’s wines. It has been exported across the globe since the eighteenth century. All the plots of grenache noir, syrah, mourvèdre, and cinsault grapes are planted across the different soil types within the wine appellation, making the style of this wine the full expression of the complexity of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It pairs wonderfully with rare meat, Provencal classics, or other elaborate dishes made with sauce.

The 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red is a Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Cinsault Blend.

Several soil types composed the estate: clay-limestone, sand-clay, sandstone strewn with the famous 'galets roulés'.

All grapes are hand picked and sorted on table. They are then put into vat for 3 to 4 weeks with regular pumping overs and punching downs. We taste must everyday during fermentation to ensure the best extraction of the berries compounds. At the end, wine is racked into oak vats for the malolactic fermentation. When completing this second fermentation, our cuvée is racked in our big casks (foudres) and barrels for 12 months before blending. Bottling happens 6 months later.
