respect for thesoil (more information)

The true expression of the exceptional soil of Château La Nerthe requires a relentless control of the condition of the vines and their production : very low yield, old vines, maintained in perfect health.
"One bottle per vine", is the watchword that reigns at Château la Nerthe, or 25 to 30 hectoliters per hectare throughout the domaine.
" The average age of our vines is 40 years ", boasts the vineyard manager, who neglects to mention that some vines are as old as a century…. Older vines, less productive and more concentrated, guarantee uniform quality.
