Cuvée Clavelles from Château La Nerthe is a refined Châteauneuf-du-Pape blend showcasing the appellation’s sun-drenched Grenache and complex flavor profile.

Château La Nerthe er en af ​​de smukkeste og mest berømte Châteauneuf-du-Pape-ejendomme med en rig og lang historie. I 1750 dækkede vinmarken næsten 50 hektar og eksporterede allerede til hele Europa og endda til Moskva. Den første aftapning på ejendommen fandt sted i 1784. I dag, under ledelse af Rémi Jean, dyrkes disse 92 hektar vinstokke økologisk uden kemisk gødning, herbicider eller syntetiske pesticider.


Vinfremstilling

Druerne håndhøstes og sorteres ved ankomsten til vingården. De vinificeres derefter som hele klaser. Ekstraktionen udføres skånsomt gennem daglige punch-downs og pump-overs i cirka 20 dage. Vinen lagres derefter i 12 måneder på gamle fade (70%) og store fade (30%).


Grenache Noir druesort

Alkohol 15%


Smagsnoter

Næsen er en blanding af jordbær, søde krydderier og sandeltræ. Vinen er meget kompleks og raffineret og overrasker med sin delikate, men dybe personlighed. En fornem, frisk og elegant vin.

Serveringsforslag
Passer perfekt til braiseret oksekød.

Winery Heritage & Terroir

Founded in 1560, Château La Nerthe stands among the pioneers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nestled on rolling hills of galets roulés (large, round pebbles), the estate’s historic vineyards benefit from exceptional drainage and heat retention, concentrating the fruit’s ripeness and amplifying the appellation’s signature garrigue aromas.

Grape Composition & Vinification

Blend

Cuvée Clavelles is predominantly Grenache (85%), complemented by Mourvèdre (10%) and a touch of Syrah (5%).

Harvest & Fermentation

Hand-harvested grapes are sorted on arrival before gentle destemming. Indigenous yeast fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by a 12-month ageing period—70% in large, seasoned oak foudres and 30% in French barriques—to add subtle spice and structural finesse.

Tasting Profile

Color: Deep ruby with violet hues.

Nose: Lush aromas of blackberry compote, wild thyme, rosemary and a delicate peppery note.

Palate: Full-bodied and richly textured, unveiling layered flavors of blackcurrant, bitter chocolate and garrigue, leading to a vibrant, mineral-tinged finish.

Food Pairing & Serving

  • Roasted leg of lamb with herb crust
  • Duck breast in cherry reduction
  • Aged Comté or Beaufort cheeses

Serve at 16-18 °C (60-64 °F) after decanting for 1–2 hours.

Aging Potential

Thanks to its ripe tannic backbone and balanced acidity, Cuvée Clavelles will gracefully develop additional tertiary notes—dried fruit, leather and forest floor—over the next decade.
