Chteau La Nerthe has 227 acres of vineyards that surround the chteau and top the renowned La Crau plateau. The terroir is typical of the region. Vineyards run along a slope and grow in sandy-clay soils. The ground is covered by a layer of galets' large, round, well-worn stones that were carried down from the Alps by glaciers during the last ice age. All the 13 permitted primary varietals are planted here. Grenache dominates 62% of the vineyards and the average vine age is over 40 years old. The grapes are hand harvested and sorted on tables. The grapes are then put into vats for almost 4 weeks with regular pump overs and punch downs. The must is tasted every day during fermentation to ensure the best extraction of the berry compounds. At the end, the wines are racked into oak vats for malolactic fermentation. The cuve is then aged in large French oak casks and barrels for 12 months before blending. Bottling takes place 6 months later. The dark, deep, inky of the wine shows immediately, stemming from the concentration of the vintage. Nose of blackcurrants, black tea and dried flowers stands out.

As with the base 2019, the estate did an incredible job with the tannins, and this wine is flawlessly balanced, with ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and the sheer class to evolve for 25 years. This is a perfect example of power with no sensation of weight or heaviness. The blend in 2019 is 84% Grenache, 10% Mourvdre, and 6% Syrah, and it wasn't destemmed and was brought up mostly in concrete tanks, with just 6% in very old barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"André Brunel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949246836783,"sku":"451414","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/calliouxbeth_8e8ff66f-597b-478e-92ed-f9a4dc01326b.jpg?v=1771492116"},{"product_id":"clos-saint-jean-deus-ex-machina-chateauneuf-du-pape-2022","title":"Clos Saint-Jean Deus-Ex Machina Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eClos Saint-Jean is a 41-hectare estate in Chteauneuf-du-Pape run by brothers Vincent and Pascal Maurel.

A short time after its founding and well before the AOP of Chateauneuf-du-Pape was created in 1923, Edmund began bottling estate wines in 1910.The farming at Clos Saint-Jean is fully sustainable due to the warm and dry climate, which prevents the need for chemical inputs.

The vines tended manually, and harvest is conducted in several passes entirely by hand.Deus ex Machina is a literary and dramatic term for a miraculous intervention that interru a logical course of events in a plot or play. A suitable name for a cuve that had it's start in the torrid vintage of 2003 when Philippe Cambie and Vincent Maurel made the decision to harvest at the end of September, weeks after their neighbors. Deus ex Machina is a blend of old vine Grenache from La Crau, aged in tank with equally ancient Mourvedre from the sandy soils of BoisDauphin aged in demi-muid. Deus ex Machina is only made in the best vintages. Review: Lastly, the 2022 Chteauneuf Du Pape Deus-Ex Machina shows a similar profile to the Combes des Fous, yet it brings another level of tannins and concentration. Kirsch liqueur, white flowers, sandalwood, cured meats, and graphite notes all shine here, and it's full-bodied, has a deep, layered, powerful, yet weightless profile, lots of ripe tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish. This ripe, sexy, seamless, incredibly impressive beauty will compete with anything in the vintage. As usual, this cuve is 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre, which is brought up in roughly 40% new demi-muids.

The hill, in this case, is located in the far southern reach of Le Crau which was left barren for many centuries because the layer of galets was so exceedingly deep that everyone assumed vines could never survive there. The fool in this situation is Edmund Tacussel, the great-great-grandfather of Vincent and Pascal Maruel who planted a Grenache vineyard on this site in 1905. That old-vine Grenache form the heart of this cuve with a small amount of Syrah, Cinsault and Vaccarse. La Combe des Fous is only made in the best vintages.
