Collector’s Note

This bottle features the 2017 Château La Nerthe Cuvée des Cadettes Châteauneuf-du-Pape in a collectible 1.5L magnum format. Because premium Rhône wines and large-format bottles are condition-sensitive, buyers should review provenance, storage history, label condition, capsule condition, fill level, and overall bottle presentation before purchase.

Serving Recommendation

Serve around 60–65°F. Because this is a magnum bottle, allow proper time for opening and service. Decant for 60–90 minutes before serving to allow the dark fruit, herbs, spice, and tannins to open. Use a large Rhône or Bordeaux glass for the best aromatic expression.

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, ribeye steak, duck breast, venison, braised short ribs, beef stew, grilled sausages, mushroom risotto, roasted vegetables, aged cheeses, Comté, and classic Provençal dishes.
