La Nerthe
Chateau de la Nerthe is one of the oldest in Chateauneuf du Pape with records dating back to 1560. Purchased in 1986, a full renovation and replanting followed. Now one of the largest estates in the Southern Rhone, they organically farm all 13 approved grape varieties to create three reds and two whites.

Loaded with tropical and citrus flavors, this is a bit crisp, but shows some nice mineral character. Perhaps a bit tough on the finish and lacking fat, but more importantly, it's superintense and should be a great ager. Best from 2005 through 2010. 2,080 cases made. -PMInc. TAX€640.38
