Description

Louro do Bolo, frère cadet d’As Sortes, est lui aussi issu du remarquable Godello de la vallée de Bibei (limitrophe de l’appellation Ribeira Sacra), ainsi que d’un faible pourcentage de Treixadura, autre cépage autochtone de Galice. Sans artifices, élégant et frais, il se distingue par sa franchise et par son nez, extrêmement agréable et très spécifique, où dominent les agrumes, les fruits blancs et les notes minérales. Ce millésime garde toutes ses caractéristiques propres, avec une entrée en bouche plus douce.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"Long-time readers long ago learned about Spain’s white wine grape called Godello. It has now become fashionable everywhere. Godello produces a good wine that offers more concentration, texture and richness than Verdejo or Albarino. Made from 100% Godello, the tank-fermented and aged 2013 Bolo exhibits lots of Chardonnay-like character with notes of honeyed pears, poached peaches and buttery tropical fruit. Medium-bodied with stunning elegance and freshness as well as beautiful balance and equilibrium, it can be enjoyed over the next 1-2 years. To give readers an idea of just how good it was, we tasted it side-by-side with California’s 2012 Aubert Chardonnay from the Larry Hyde Vineyard, which is spectacular. The difference between that wine and this 2013 Bolo was not as dramatic as one might expect".
