L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

I also tasted the 2016 Plácet Valtomelloso, which was sourced from the same vineyard and produced in the same way as the 2015, with fermentation and 11 months spent in 2,000-liter oval oak foudres. 2016 produced a little less white wine. The nose is very expressive, very young, high pitched and with almost unnoticeable oak, quite harmonious. The palate is clean, defined, straight and pure, with symmetry, tension and a very tasty, salty finish. This is very fine and elegant but with good weight too. One of the best vintages of Plácet. 10,800 bottles were filled in October 2017. In this vintage they changed to a Burgundy bottle, and in 2017 it will wear the European Organic agriculture label.

James Suckling:

A more linear and long white from Rioja with tropical fruit and density. Vertical. Medium to full body. Fresh and vivid. Energetic finish. Drink now.
