{"title":"Chateau La Nerthe","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau La Nerthe is a winery based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in France's southern Rhône Valley. The estate produces red wines across two principal appellations: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the region's most celebrated designation, and Côtes du Rhône Villages, which encompasses broader territory within the southern Rhône.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteauneuf-du-Pape is defined by its distinctive terroir of large, heat-retaining stones (locally called \"galets\") overlying clay and sand soils. This environment produces wines with ripe fruit character and naturally higher alcohol content, typically ranging from 14 to 15.5% abv. The appellation permits up to 13 grape varieties, though most producers focus on a core group. Wines from this region tend toward full body and concentrated flavors, with aging potential of 5 to 20 years depending on vintage and producer approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current range from Château La Nerthe centers on Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre—the three varieties most commonly found in southern Rhône blends. Their Châteauneuf-du-Pape expression represents the appellation's top tier, while Les Cassagnes de la Nerthe, released under Côtes du Rhône Villages, offers a more accessible entry point to the estate's winemaking while maintaining the regional character defined by warm-climate ripeness and the influence of the Mistral wind.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/6758\/collections\/Chateau_La_Nerthe_-_Collection.jpg?v=1742289112","url":"https:\/\/onshorecellars.com\/collections\/producer-chateau-la-nerthe.oembed","provider":"Onshore Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
