Château la Nerthe Cadettes 2020

The 2020 Cuvée des Cadettes offers a delightful bouquet of creamy blackberries intertwined with freshly picked raspberries. Its profile is delicate and smooth, enhanced by subtle notes of sandalwood and exotic turmeric spice. The palate mirrors this gentle character, with a ripe yet light and perfectly balanced feel. The wine exudes a soft, blueberry muffin-like quality, supported by a refreshing mineral edge and a fruit profile that shifts towards earthy, grainy blackberries.

The fruit is juicy and succulent, with a burst of red berry freshness. Everything is well-balanced and harmonious, with a smooth, rounded texture. While the wine carries the warmth typical of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it remains wonderfully easy to enjoy. The tannins are incredibly fine, leaving just a faint grip on the long, refreshing finish.
