Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most prestigious village in the Southern Rhône. It is world-renowned for its complex red blends, often based on (though certainly not limited to) Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Our 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is made for us by Château la Nerthe, a historic estate dating back to at least 1560. La Nerthe’s 92 hectares of vineyards are broken down into 57 plots, encompassing Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s varied soil types, essentially making it a microcosm of the entire appellation.

Château la Nerthe has been farmed organically since 1988, and woodlands surround the vines. Biodiversity is actively encouraged. The Richard family has owned the estate since 1985; their investment and leadership have taken it to new heights.

Tasting note

The 2021 vintage has produced a wine scented with a sweet, red-cherry perfume supported by aromas of just-picked bramble fruit. The palate is sophisticated and beautifully balanced, not at all rich or heavy. This cool vintage in the Rhône Valley lends additional elegance and freshness, resulting in this bright, juicy, delicious wine to drink now.

About this wine

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The largest and most important appellation in the southern Rhône, with more than 3,200 hectares of vineyards and over 80 growers, Châteauneuf-du-Pape produces more wine than the whole of the northern Rhône combined. The gloriously rich red wines, redolent of the heat and herbs of the south, are enhanced by the complexity which comes from blending several of the 14 permitted grape varieties including Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah.
