Description
La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Cadettes 2018 is a striking representation of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region, showcasing a deep purple hue and an aromatic profile rich in wild blackberries, ripe cherry, and subtle notes of vanilla and dried flowers. The blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, and 10% Syrah is fermented traditionally and aged in old oak for 14 to 16 months, resulting in a wine of remarkable concentration and complexity.
On the palate, the wine is both opulent and balanced, featuring jammy red fruit flavors complemented by sweet spices like cinnamon and menthol, with a hint of smokiness. The finish is notably long, supported by solid, well-integrated tannins, making this vintage suitable for aging. Praised by critics, including a 95-point rating from Vinous, the Cuvée des Cadettes 2018 embodies the power and finesse of its unique terroir, offering both immediate enjoyment and excellent cellaring potential.
