Tasting notes
The 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a tidy blend of 55% Mourvèdre, 25% Syrah, 17% Grenache and other permitted varieties. It displays aromas of ripe cranberry, forest strawberry, raspberry, dried herbs, licorice and a pinch of menthol along with earthy undertones. On the palate this 2019 is full-bodied, enveloped in velvety tannins and kept in check by lively acidity. The finish is distinctively savory.

Chateau la Nerthe's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape is roughly one-third each Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah, with a sprinkling of a few other permitted varieties. Aged in a combination of foudres and new oak barriques, it offers a clean, balanced nose of cedar and vanilla against a backdrop of raspberries and black cherries. Full-bodied, supple and reasonably intense, it finishes long and silky.
Close to an even split of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape has a perfumed, beautifully elegant, and medium-bodied style that carries lots of cherry and fresh plum fruits as well as peppery spice and floral notes. The balance is spot on, as is the purity of fruit. Drink it over the coming 15 years or more.
