Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Yohan Castaing

The 2024 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc from Château La Nerthe is a lovely effort, opening with aromas of white fruits, spices and flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, sappy and seamless, it offers an elegantly juicy core of fruit that carries into a delicate, gently oaked finish. Vinified and matured for six months in a combination of large barrels, 20% new oak and used barrels, it is composed of 51% Roussanne, 26% Grenache Blanc, 14% Clairette and 9% Bourboulenc.

Wine Spectator

Kristen Bieler

A broad, stylish white, filled out with juicy star fruit, melon and baking spices. There’s a glycerol feel to the silky palate, smudged with toasty oak, smoke and honeyed richness. Supple through the dense, long finish, detailed with fennel frond, ginger and flinty mineral notes. Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc. Drink now through 2031. 260 cases imported.

Decanter

Deeply coloured, this is ripe, tropical, rich, opulent, oaky and broad. The oak influence is quite strong and will take time to integrate. It has very large proportions and is certainly one for those looking for a big, ripe, luxurious style of white Châteauneuf with a long finish.

James Suckling

Stuart Pigott

This powerful, full-bodied white Chateauneuf shows a wide spectrum of stone fruit, citrus and wild herb aromas. I love the balance of restrained creaminess from maturation on the lees with the elegant structure and animating freshness, the latter accentuate by a touch of bitterness in the long, quite firm finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck

Based on 51% Roussanne, 26% Grenache Blanc, 14% Clairette, and 9% Bourboulenc from the la Crau, la Nerthe, and la Rigole lieux-dits, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc was aged six months in a mix of demi-muids, barrels, and stainless steel. Medium gold-hued, it offers fabulous purity in its ripe peach, orange blossom, minty herb, and subtle mineral-laced aromatics. It's medium-bodied, with a beautifully textured mouthfeel that has nicely integrated acidity, a balanced, layered profile, and outstanding length. This is well worth a case purchase and will keep for 15-20 years in cold cellars. Drink 2025-2045.

The Elegance and Freshness of a Great White Wine from the Rhône Valley

The Estate

Founded in the 16th century, with origins dating back to 1560, Château La Nerthe is an iconic estate in the Rhône Valley. Owned by the Richard family since 1985, it is now run by Rémi Jean. A pioneer of organic farming in its appellation, having obtained certification as early as 1998, this historic estate oversees a vast vineyard. Combining centuries-old heritage with modern agroecological practices, the estate distinguishes itself through the production of great wines that reflect the full diversity and richness of its southern terroir.

The Vineyard

Located at the heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, the vineyard forms a single block surrounding the historic building. It rests on a mosaic of clay-limestone, sandy-clay and sandstone soils, scattered with the famous rolled pebbles. This unique terroir benefits from a microclimate of warm days and cool nights, enhanced by the rare presence of a natural spring. The estate applies rigorous agroecological methods, including cover cropping, eco-grazing and precise water management, to preserve biodiversity and soil vitality.

The Vintage

The year brought a demanding yet very promising harvest, requiring particular attention to climatic challenges in order to guarantee optimal grape quality.

Winemaking and Ageing

To craft this Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2024, the whole clusters, hand-harvested and carefully sorted, undergo slow, gentle pressing. The Roussanne is fermented in oak barrels to provide structure. The other grape varieties are vinified in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve their aromatic freshness. The final blend is made before bottling, ensuring a harmonious integration of the oak.

Grape Varieties

This wine is a blend of Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc.
