Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Les Cassagnes de La Nerthe is produced in the Southern Rhône Valley in France by Domaine de la Renjarde, a property owned by the Richard family who also manage the famed Château La Nerthe in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The same team creates this elegant and fruit driven wine.

The wine is a blend of organic Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes grown in sandy and limestone soil containing shards of calcareous rocks, providing high quality natural filtration. The average age of the vines is over 40 years old. The vineyards are located at altitudes up to 600 feet above sea level and the gently undulating slopes produce high quality grapes.

Les Cassagnes means oak trees, which surround the vineyards. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted after arriving at the winery. The grapes are lightly crushed, and color and tannins are gently extracted with several daily pumping overs of the tanks. Co-fermentation of the three varieties occurs over a long maceration of 3 to 4 weeks. The final blend is aged on fine lees in stainless steel tanks for 9 to 12 months before bottling.

Bright garnet in color, this rounded and elegant wine offers vibrant notes of red berries, black currant, cherries, licorice, and garrigue – a term that describes the local wild plants such as thyme, laurel, and olives. The tannins have a delicate texture and the minty finish adds another taste of Provence."

92/100 Matt Walls, Decanter, February 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"There's touch of oak to the nose and palate, giving a touch of spice and polish to the intense, concentrated nectarine flavours. Plenty of impact and concentration. Grown within the Côtes du Rhône Villages Massif d'Uchaux AOC territory, but that appellation is currently reserved for red wines only"

"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."
