Description

The Côtes-du-Rhône and Côtes-du-Rhône Villages “Les Cassagnes de La Nerthe” vines are located on the Massif d’Uchaux, 15km north of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The vineyard is composed of three terraces, the highest of which overlap with the surrounding Mediterranean forest. The garrigue is everywhere: thyme, rosemary, laurels, evergreen oaks, olive trees, and genista.

You will find “Les Cassagnes de La Nerthe” in the heart of the secluded massif d’Uchaux. Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre make up most of the red vines. The berries explode with flavor and freshness when they’re opened. And the garrigue is never very far away.

Review
A fruity, playful and mellow red made of 60% grenache, 32% syrah, 7% mourvedre and 1% others. Pretty nose with small berries, cherries, Mediterranean herbs, rosemary, dried thyme and a touch of peppercorns. Supple and mellow, with a velvety texture, beautiful fruit and a delicious finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Tasting Profile
nose

On the nose, red berries and floral blackcurrant buds along with slight liquorice touches.

palate

On the palate, crunchy cherry mixed with accents of ‘garrigue’ (thyme, olive, laurel). The wine is balanced, waving between liveliness and roundness. The delicate texture of the tannins marks this 2022 vintage and the minty finish.
