L'avis des experts
From predominantly ferrous clay soils in Valtuille, this spent two winters ageing, the first
in tronconic vats and the second in 500L barrels. Already wonderfully expressive, with
pretty rose and lilac perfume that mingles with exuberant red and blue berries. There is a
joyful quality to the fruit, but handled with impressive precision and elegance. The tannins
bring energy, ending with a sappy texture on the finish. Longer ageing seems to have
settled the wine beautifully and everything feels perfectly in place. 2026-32
The red 2024 Quite was produced with grapes from Valtuille de Abajo and Villadecanes on clay soils and aged for two winters in oak, the first one in troncoconic vats and the second one in barriques. It has fruit and muscle and is a little more reductive and earthy. 2024 was a cooler year, and she does a softer maceration and extraction; she used some stems but only in certain plots, and the percentage is quite low in the final blend. These vineyards were hit by hail, there was a lot of mildew, and it was quite challenging in the valley zone. This is more reserved and austere than the 2023, but it still has a juicy palate and the fine tannins. It comes in with 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.62 and 4.65 grams of acidity. 23,000 bottles produced, a shorter volume this year. It was bottled in March 2026. It's a bargain for the price.
