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 jedno je od najljepših i najpoznatijih imanja Châteauneuf-du-Pape, koje se može pohvaliti bogatom i dugom poviješću. Do 1750. godine vinograd se prostirao na gotovo 50 hektara i već je izvozio diljem Europe, pa čak i u Moskvu. Prvo punjenje u boce na imanju održano je 1784. godine. Danas se, pod upravom Rémija Jeana, ovih 92 hektara vinograda obrađuje organski, bez kemijskih gnojiva, herbicida ili sintetičkih pesticida.

Vinifikacija

Grožđe se bere ručno i sortira po dolasku u vinariju. Zatim se vinificira kao cijeli grozdovi. Ekstrakcija se provodi nježnim dnevnim precijedivanjem i prepumpavanjima otprilike 20 dana. Vino zatim odležava 12 mjeseci u starim bačvama (70%) i velikim bačvama (30%).

Sorta grožđa Grenache Noir

Alkohol 15%

Bilješke kušanja

Miris je mješavina jagode, slatkih začina i sandalovine. Vrlo kompleksno i profinjeno, vino iznenađuje svojom delikatnom, ali dubokom osobnošću. Prefinjeno, svježe i elegantno vino.

Prijedlog za serviranje

Savršeno se slaže s pirjanom govedinom.

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.
