CH LA NERTHE CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2015

Winemaker Notes
This Cuvée is produced only in the best vintages. Expressive nose with notes of incredible youth on sweet spices, black cherries and fermentation aromas. Once again is the freshness, youth and red fruits expression on the palate: notes of fresh grapes are superimposed on those of black fruits. A rich, complex and generous wine with discreet ageing notes, silky and ripe tannins. A delicious wine to keep for great occasions for the next decade.

To drink with a wild boar casserole, rack of lamb with thyme juice, duck fillet with pepper sauce.

Blend: 35% Grenache, 33% Mourvedre, and 32% Syrah.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
La Nerthe’s 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Cadettes is a blend of approximately one-third each Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Eighty percent of the wine spent a year in new oak barrels, but much of that has been absorbed into the wine, and I see that my notes don’t make reference to overt oak descriptors. Scents of raspberry and spice lead the way, followed by a firm, full-bodied palate. The tannins are present from front to back, but they’re ripe and silky, lingering elegantly on the finish.
