To bledo rumeno belo vino Château la Nerthe v nosu razkriva arome koščičastega sadja (breskev, marelica) in belega cvetja. V okusu ponuja čudovito kompleksnost z notami citrusov in osvežilno kislostjo.

Château La Nerthe, ki je v lasti družine Richard od leta 1985, je eno najlepših in najbolj priznanih posestev v Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Prvo stekleničenje na posestvu je bilo leta 1784. Danes, pod vodstvom Rémija Jeana, 92 hektarjev vinogradov obdelujejo ekološko, brez kemičnih gnojil, herbicidov ali sintetičnih pesticidov. Terroir, ki je zelo reprezentativen za apelacijo, se izmenjuje med peskom, glino, apnencem in znamenitimi valjanimi kamenčki.

Vinarstvo
Grozdje se ročno obira in sortira na sortirni mizi. Celi grozdi se nato stisnejo, da se počasi iztisne najboljši sok. Roussanne fermentira v 228- in 600-litrskih sodih (ena tretjina novega hrasta) in stara na finih drožeh. Druge sorte grozdja se najprej vinificirajo v temperaturno nadzorovanih rezervoarjih iz nerjavečega jekla in nato starajo na finih drožeh. Mešanje poteka tik pred stekleničenjem.

Okusne note: Bledo rumene barve. V nosu se razkrivajo arome koščičastega sadja (breskev, marelica) in belega cvetja. V okusu se kaže čudovita kompleksnost z notami citrusov (limeta), eksotičnega sadja (ananas, mango) in prijetno kislostjo. Ta Châteauneuf-du-Pape ima fino, dobro integrirano hrastovo drevo z izrazitim zaključkom pikantnih in vztrajnih mineralnih not.

Overview

Château La Nerthe is one of the oldest estates in Châteauneuf du Pape, crafting this exceptional white cuvée from a blend of Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Picpoul. With vines rooted in the iconic galets roulés (rounded river stones), the wine absorbs unique thermal properties that elevate its aromatic intensity and depth.

History and Terroir

Dating back to 1560, La Nerthe sits on a rolling plateau just south of Avignon. The estate’s sandy clay soils mixed with quartzite and large pebbles retain heat during the day and release it at night, ensuring perfect ripening of white varietals.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Pale gold with green highlights.

Aroma

Intense bouquet of white flowers, honeysuckle and ripe pear, followed by notes of citrus blossom and toasted almond.

Palate

Full-bodied yet fresh, displaying flavors of yellow plum, honeyed apricot and a mineral-driven finish that lingers elegantly.

Food Pairing

This versatile white is ideal with seared scallops, lobster risotto or a creamy goat cheese salad. It also shines as an aperitif alongside fresh oysters or sushi.

Vinification Process

After manual harvest, grapes are gently pressed and fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and older oak barrels. Partial malolactic fermentation lends roundness, while aging on fine lees adds texture and complexity.

Serving Recommendations

Serve chilled at 10–12°C (50–54°F). Decanting for 30 minutes helps to release its full aromatic spectrum. Best enjoyed within 3–5 years, though top vintages can develop beautifully over a decade.
