Chateau La Nerthe Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape Rouge 2022 is a benchmark southern Rhône red, bright garnet in the glass and sourced from old‑vine Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault across the estate’s classic galets‑strewn slopes. This Chateau La Nerthe Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape 2022 captures the soul of the domaine in an elegant, pure and finely balanced style that will age gracefully.

The nose is charming and layered with ripe cherries, strawberries and red berries, underlined by dried herbs, forest floor, liquorice, mint and a dusting of peppery spice. Medium‑bodied with supple, silky tannins, the palate is round and polished, delivering waves of red fruits, subtle plum and savoury garrigue notes, finishing long with minty, peppery lift and impressive freshness.

Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape Rouge 2022 is superb with rare beef, lamb racks, duck ragout, slow‑braised meats or Provençal classics like daube and ratatouille, and will also shine alongside hard cheeses at the end of the meal. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar over the next decade for added complexity.
