Historical documents from 1560 mention the estate. The historic Chateau was built in 1736. Chateau La Nerthe deserves credit for being one of the first estates to bottle their own wine. This took place to some extent starting in 1784. Chateau La Nerthe is one of the first, if not the first estate in Chateauneuf-du-Pape to export their wine outside of France. Another first that belongs to the estate is that Chateau La Nerthe began the practice of destemming 100% of their vines in the 1800’s. By this point in time, Chateau La Nerthe was the most expensive wine from the Southern Rhone.
