Château La Nerthe
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc White Rhone Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
I bought several bottles and opened this last one about 3 years later. Nice aromas of green and stone fruits with a citrus notes. The palate shows apple, peach and pear, still crisp with good balance, fresh and lively. The finish shows nutty earthy tones. I met with the distributor, Pasternak Wine Imports a while ago who indicated this wine can be enjoyed now, but put it down for a few years, the age will benefit the wine greatly, he was right!

This was the white. Perfectly nice; I prefer less Roussanne.

Wish I could try this a few years from now--but it's really hitting all the right white CdP notes.
