Wine By Nine

White Wine by Ch. La Nerthe from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, France - Rhone. This luxury white cuvee, Clos de Beauvenir (60% Roussanne and 40% Clairette) is named after the original name of the estate in the 16th Century. Selected from the finest parcels of old vines, this wine is truly an elixer in a class by itself. A gloriously perfumed, honeyed wine possessing full body, terrific acidity, tremendous delineation, and a layered texture. A terrific beam of acacia honey and dried pineapple runs through this full-bodied white. with blanched almond, mineral and guava hints. Shows the tropical note of the vintage. but keeps its stony persistence. Drink now through 2007. 330 cases made. Wine Spectator 10/15/2006 The luxury cuvee, the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Clos de Beauvenir (only 500 cases) is stunning, with notes of waxy lanolin, orange blossom, pear, and peach intermixed with white flowers and citrus oil... -Wine Advocate
