Château La Nerthe : Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2010

2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone Valley

The year 2010 was incredible: fresh summer nights and not excessively hot days. This 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Chateau La Nerthe is 43% Grenache Noir, 31% Cinsault, 28% Syrah and 9% Mourvèdre. 
The wine displays a purple-tinted dark red colour. The nose is expressive on rich ripe fruit, quince jelly and mild spices notes. The swirl reveals blackberry and blackcurrant notes enhanced by a hint of black chocolate. On the palate, the 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is rich with a wonderful density and a great balance. This unique vintage offers a great ageing potential.
