Description
The 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Cadettes matured for one year in foudre and states 15% alcohol on the label. It displays aromas of very ripe red and black fruits, dried lavender, cardamon, earth and tobacco. Velvety tannins caress the full-bodied palate, nicely balanced by bright acidity. The 2019 Cuvée des Cadettes continues to provide intrigue with a complex finish.

Critics reviews
Alistair Cooper MW 17+/20
This shows a blend of restrained fruit in the background, waxy red fruit and then a dollop of ripe pastille black fruit – a nice balance. A rich texture here is carried by lively acidity on the finish. A little introverted but a lovely wine indeed.Alistair Cooper MW, JancisRobinson.com
Matt Walls 97/100
Full-bodied, this has weight and presence but isn't overly fat or gloopy. Very firm but not austere in structure thanks to the pliant Mourvèdre tannic structure. Long and deep with a dry, savoury finish. This should age with interest. La Nerthe goes from strength to strength. The estate's oldest parcels of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, all grown on galets roulés and sand, partially destemmed, all co-fermented in tronconic vats, then matured for a year in foudres.Drink 2023 - 2038matt_walls, Decanter
