2009 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Ch. la Nerthe

Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Ch. la Nerthe
Most Exciting Wines of the Vintage:Châteauneauf-du-Pape Rouge Ch. la Nerthe
The 2009 La Nerthe shares the same character, depth of personality and richness that made the 2007 vintage such a success. It is made with a blend of 50% Grenache and 25% each of Syrah and early ripening Mourvèdre. Beautiful aromas of mulberry fruit, smoke and Provençal herbs are followed by a rich, meaty palate with Asian spices balanced by a backbone of fine, silky tannins.
(Sara Guiducci, BBR Fine Wine)

Just a hint of oak on the nose does nothing to mask the spicy, brambly fruit underneath. Delightfully linear on the palate, with dark, Syrah dominated (for now) fruit giving a joyous impression. The spicy Grenache fruit comes through at the end, promising more for the future, along with the fine, palate-coating tannins and crisp acidity. (Chris Pollington, BBR Fine Wine)Château La Nerthe

La Nerthe Rouge has a lot of the character and depth of personality in 2009 that made the 2007 such a huge success. It is smoky, rich and meaty with mulberry fruit supported by Provençal herbs and Asian spices. The signature caress of finely-grained tannins is clearly evidenced.

Some intrigue and substance on the nose. Drier, more claret-style, than most. Distinctive. There’s a balance between the fruit and the tannins but this is not in-your-face obvious Châteauneuf style. Châteauneuf meets the Médoc!

Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Ch. la Nerthe
The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape (47% Grenache, 38% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre and Cinsault, aged in equal parts barrel and foudre) is delicious. Its dark ruby/purple color is followed by a wine with soft, supple tannins, copious blue and black fruits, and hints of kirsch and earth. Round and generous, this 2009 will be drinkable upon release, and should last a decade or more.
