The
village wine 2018 CorullĂłn has, for the first time, the new category Vino de
Villa (village wine!). It comes from around 90 plots of their own vineyards. In
the cooler and more Atlantic 2018, they had more rain than the previous two
vintages and a lower average temperature, and they think it was excellent for
their wines ("a modern version of 2001," Ricardo Pérez Palacios told
me). There are around 8% white grapes here, and the wine fermented in oak vats
with punching down, and the élevage was in a combination of barriques, bocoyes
and foudres, oak containers of different sizes, and was short of 11 months.
This is the modern version of 2001 and 2012, and in 2018, it has the part of
Moncerbal (almost 40%) that was not in the 2017 (because of hail, the Moncerbal
bottling was not produced in 2017), so it goes back to the classical style.
There is terrific balance here, great purity, with the essence of slate; here,
we move from the fruit of the Pétalos to the herbs. But there is complexity and
nuance, violets, rockrose, sap, resin, fern, cinnamon and citrus, all very
subtle and harmonious. The flavors have similar purity, and if these wines
never have high acidity, there is great freshness, soft citrus, all very subtle
and velvety. This is sooo easy to drink it could be dangerous.
