primarily made from Pinot Noir

The 172eme is a Champagne of understatement and class that is very much a reflection of the base year

it lacks charm and complexity at this stage of its evolution

Cedary and savoury

as the small berries on the frosted vines had caught up after the welcome September rains

2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Château La Nerthe, Rhône rosso-di-montalcino primarily made from Pinot NoirThis wine is a show stopper! Bang for bucks, it's also my Bargain of the Vintage (18. 5 20) as well as Most Exciting Wine. With fabulously ripe and creamy framboise notes on the nose, a coating of gorgeous silky tannins and a really generous core of ripe plump red fruits, this is scrumptious!!! (Simon Staples, BBR Fine Wine Sales Director) Ch. la Nerthe really grabbed me for its firm, polished style which will make excellent drinking from soon after
