2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Ch. la Nerthe

Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Ch. la Nerthe
The facts behind this great wine are as follows; 42% Grenache, 39% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 4% Cinsault; 51% barrel-aged and 49% aged in cask. Cropped at 20 hl//ha and to be bottled April 2012. Behind the detail, the facts speak for themselves; a superb effort! Mint, plums, lavender and black tea are all noted in deference to real complexity. The best vintage for 35 years according to M Voeux, who should have a reasonable idea, as he has been making wine here for at least twenty-five of them!
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

La Nerthe is one of the few Rhône properties where the grandeur of the wines is perfectly captured by the property itself. Our Fine Wine team love to visit because everything, the elegance of the wines included, makes them think that they are in Bordeaux. Christian Voeux is particularly pleased with the 2010 vintage which, he advises, shares the rigour and precision of the 2005 and the generous fruit character of the 2007. As the 2007 la Nerthe was our best-seller of that particular vintage, these are words that we are happy to hear...

Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Ch. la Nerthe
The red wines include the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape, a blend of 42% Grenache, 39% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre and the rest Cinsault aged in both older barrels and wood foudres. Like most Chateauneuf du Papes in this vintage, it was a tiny crop at La Nerthe because they lost nearly one-third of the Grenache crop due to poor flowering. Sweet blueberry and boysenberry fruit notes intermixed with acacia flowers, lavender and spice box jump from the glass of this juicy, long, rich, concentrated Chateauneuf du Pape. With zesty acidity as well as terrific purity and depth, it should drink well for 10-12 years.
