CHATEAU LA NERTHE
One of the great names of Chateauneuf ,quoted in nineteenth century as being a separate and slightly better wines than chateauneuf itself. All 13 authorised varieties are planted in it vineyards. Director Alain Dugas combines scientific rigour with a deep understanding of his vineyard ,and the wines have been gaining steadily in depth and sophistication .
La Nerthe successfully attains complete ripeness without excessive alcohol . Very elegant.
Taste:Straw yellow color with green hints. The nose is rich on apricot and citrus notes. The palate has a frank attack, clear, with notes of yellow flesh fruits (peach). Freshness in the middle of the mouth arouses the taste buds. An immediate pleasant wine to enjoy as an aperitif with ‘gougères’, during the meal on a risotto with asparagus, a veal roast with mushrooms or with a cheese platter at the end of the meal.
