Description

Villa de Corullón panache avec harmonie les altitudes, les arômes et les luminosités. Ce vin extraverti, délicat, enveloppé et élégant exprime aujourd’hui pleinement son potentiel. Corullón est un véritable poème dont les strophes serpentent au cœur des pinèdes escarpées du Bierzo, un paysage à la fois méditerranéen et atlantique qui donne au vin sa douceur, sa fraîcheur et sa minéralité.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

Ricardo Pérez Palacios told me his favorite overall vintages for Bierzo are 2001, 2012 and possibly 2015, because he sees them as very complete years, even if 2015 didn't have as perfect conditions as 2001 and 2012; the 2015 Corullón is a perfect example of that, a really pretty wine, open, where I see the similarities with 2012. They use many of the vineyards year after year, all of them around the village of Corullón, all planted with a field blend of varieties, and they have been increasing the percentage of white grapes from those vines that they include in the cuvée. In 2015, it can be almost 9%, mostly Palomino, and they feel it polishes that slight bitterness in the finish of the Mencía, reminiscent of green almonds. Of course, there are also other red grapes, like Alicante Bouschet, Gran Negro, Pan y Carne and Negreda, that might contribute to some 2% of the volume. 19,572 bottles, 720 half bottles, 450 magnums, 45 double magnums and 30 Jeroboams were filled between May 11th and 17th of 2017.

James Suckling:

Love the focus and balance to this wine. Clove, nutmeg and mineral character with blue fruits, too. Medium to full body and ultra-fine grained tannins. Lovely length. Drink now.Biodynamically-grown grapes.
