This is youthful and undeveloped, the focus on rich and toasty scents and broad, creamy texture. What makes it compelling is the sleekness of its structure and the clarity of its white fruit flavors. It feel fresh and lively, already classy, poised to take on more detail with another five to ten years in the cellar.

One of my favorite dishes is bouillbaisse and I am thinking how great this would pair with the aromatic and delicious 2013 Chateau La Nerthe Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. This wine is tremendously exotic and enjoyable to drink, it has plenty of richness and will easily satisfy those who only claim to enjoy red wines. (Tasted: April 29, 2015, San Francisco, CA)

Archives affirm Chateau La Nerthe’s existence as early as 1560, while suggesting an even more distant past dating to the dawn of the region’s wine culture in the 12th century making it one of Chateauneuf’s oldest estates. Located in the heart of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC region of southern France not far from Avignon, the 225 acres of Chateau La Nerthe vineyards are located in a single block around the Chateau and have been certified Organic since 1998. The terroir is very typical for the region: vineyards runs along a slope, at the top of which the vines dig their roots into soils of sandy-clay, on the surface there is a layer of the famous galettes, large, round, well-worn stones that originated in the Alps, having been carried down to the Rhône by the glaciers of previous ice ages. The further down the slope of the vineyard you travel, the more these stones dominate. All 14 of the permitted primary varietals are planted-Grenache dominates 62% of vineyards and the vines average over 40 years old. Chateau La Nerthe is the prime expression of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
