Chateau La Nerthe Les Graniere

Les Granieres de La Nerthe captures the spirit of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, with its mosaic of soils and grape varieties. It illustrates the elegance and finesse of wines from Chateau La Nerthe, the famed property owned by the Richard family. The name originates from the granary, or attic space where the chateau used to store grains at a time when local agriculture included food production. Made from the estates younger vines, this blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault & Mourvedre expresses a lively and fruit-driven character. The wine is aged in casks and foudres or old, large French oak barrels (no new oak is used). Bottling is done earlier than the estates Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge to capture the wines marvelous fruit expression and elegant tannins. Enjoy upon release.
