Description: 
The Chateau La Nerthe Chateauneuf Cuvee des Cadettes is made from Grenache Noir, Syrah and Mourvedre. The grapes are hand picked and directly sorted when arriving in the cellar. The 3 grape varietals are put all together in the same wooden tank where the fermentation takes place. Pumping overs and punching downs are done during fermentation to ensure the best extraction of the berries compounds. The maceration lasts 3 weeks. The final blending will age for 12 months partly in large wooden casks and partly in new oak barrels.

This deep ruby intense Grenache blend offers a very expressive nose, full of black cherry, blackcurrant and sweet spices notes. The palate is fresh, well-balanced, enhances with graphite and boysenberries aromas. Perfectly matured tannins give the feeling of a long, fullbodied and elegant wine that can age for 20 years at least.
