Chateau La Nerthe Description
Les Granières captures the spirit of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with its mosaic of soils and grape varieties. The name originates from the granary, or attic space where the château used to store grains at a time when local agriculture included food production. Made from the estate’s younger vines, this blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault & Mourvèdre expresses a lively and fruit-driven character. The wine is aged in casks and ‘foudres’ or old, large French oak barrels (no new oak is used). Bottling is done earlier than the estate’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge to capture the wine’s marvelous fruit expression and elegant tannins. Enjoy upon release!
James Suckling: 92 Points
A well-rounded, densely fruited and textured red with sweet berries, strawberries and warm spices. Medium- to full-bodied with round tannins. Polished and velvety, with a seductive stream of berries and spices on the mid-palate. Focused and flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
