New – La Nerthe

Three families are responsible for founding the values of excellence and elegance of Château La Nerthe. The first owners, the Tulle de Villefranche family kept Château La Nerthe from 1560 to1877 and built the chateau in the 18th century. They also introduced its wines to France, Europe and the United States.

Joseph Ducos, to whom the Tulle de Villefranche family sold the at the end of the 19th century, refurbished the vineyards of La Nerthe. He planted 10 of the 13 founding grape varieties of the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation. In 1985, the Richard family re-established the original values of excellence and elegance. They undertook massive renovation work in the château, the park, the vineyards and the cellar.

Château La Nerthe is located in the heart of the Provence region in southeast France, about 80 km north of Marseille. It is a magical place thanks to its cellars dating back to the 16th century and belvedere viewpoint dominated by the 18th century chateau. Between Avignon and Orange, we find the breath-taking landmarks of Les Dentelles de Montmirail, Mount Ventoux and the Palais des Papes.

The vines spread over 92 hectares of Châteauneuf du Pape appellation, parcelled into more than 57 plots and representing all the different terroirs of the appellation.

The Chateau is striking and unforgettable, nestled in its green park, like an island surrounded by 60 hectares of ancient vineyards that form one whole piece. Yet despite its majestic air, the Chateau has always been a welcoming place, inviting one to linger and discuss its wines.
