Arguably the most impressive chateau in Chateauneuf du Pape, their magnificent cellars were used by the Nazii's during WWII as their Air Force HQ.  I  visited Chateau La Nerthe during the Rhone Wine Experience. The Chateau lies adjacent to the equally magnificent Fine Roches castle and hotel .
Journal entries: Date, Wine, Rating, Price, Comments
June 18, 2005 - Chateau La Nerthe, Chateauneuf du Pape 1996 - RM 87 $45 - Earthy, pepper and  spice predominate over the blackberry and mineral.

Sept 27, 2002 - Chateau La Nerthe 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape RM 87 WS 85 $39 Medium body berry, smoke and touch of spice - lacking the depth and intensity expected in this wine. The spectacular La Nerthe was a Chateau visited during my Rhone Provence Wine Experience a couple years ago.

July 6, 2002 - Chateau La Nerthe 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape RM 88 $35 Medium body, anise, peppery spice opens to blackberry with a smokey earthy mineral finish. This wine was tasted at the magnificant Chateau during our 99 Rhone Wine Experience.    Label Tasted at Raffi's on 5th, formerly Montparnasse in Naperville w/ L & Bill & Beth C..
Jan 12, 2001 - 1998 Chateau La Nerthe Chateneauf du Pape (RM 92)  The 98 CDP vintage is fabulous... this has big fruit, blackberry, cassis,  pepper, spice, well rounded and polished.
