La Nerthe Les Cadettes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019 (Double-Magnum)

Wineadvocate

La Nerthe's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Cadettes is mostly Mourvèdre (55%), with the rest being Syrah (25%), Grenache (17%) and other permitted varieties (3%). It delivers significantly more intensity, richness and length than the regular cuvée, with bold raspberries and black cherries on the nose, ample weight and concentration on the palate and a lingering finish marked by an intricate weave of silky tannins. It doesn't need much cellaring, but it should easily age for a couple of decades. - JC 05/2022

Slightly deeper hued, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Des Cadettes is a blend of 55% Mourvèdre, 25% Syrah, 17% Grenache, and the remainder a mix of varieties. Jammy blackberries, hints of cassis, peppery garrigue, and violets all define the nose, and it's pure and flawlessly balanced, with ripe tannins and a fresh yet also concentrated style. It too will have 15+ years of longevity. - JD 11/2022
