It destroyed the idea I had of a warm and ripe 2020. Ricardo Pérez Palacios told me he was thinking of bottling the 2020s earlier, as they didn't need a long élevage, just nine or 10 months in barrel. The wine is pale, the palest Corullón ever, with 13.7% alcohol—perhaps the vines got blocked and didn't develop more color compounds or sugar. The wine makes me think of a red from Jura; it has a different profile and is more delicate, ethereal and full of light and energy. Pérez, who hates comparisons with other regions, couldn't stop saying that it felt like a Morey Saint Denis! It's all flowers and red fruit, with a lot of super fine tannins (the 2019 tannins are rougher) that are round and give it a velvety texture with no rusticity—elegant and balanced. There is a nice balance between tannin and acidity, something this has in common with the 2019, which makes the vintages quite unusual, because being warm, the wines show balance. Today, it feels more like Moncerbal than the Moncerbal bottling; nevertheless, Corullón is around 40% from Moncerbal. ... It has to be my favorite Corullón to date. 22,183 bottles and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in October 2021.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points – James Suckling:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Slightly reductive at first, then it opens up with a hint of roasted sesame that colors the dark raspberries, strawberries and the tangy profile of white pepper, dried herbs and agave.

Palacios estate in Bierzo, Spain, the Villa de Corullón 2022 is a refined village wine by Álvaro Palacios and Ricardo Pérez. Crafted from 95% Mencía and 5% mixed varieties (Palomino, Godello, Alicante Bouschet), sourced from 90 biodynamic plots around Corullón on schist soils, it’s fermented in oak and stainless steel.

Aging for 14 months in French oak barriques (previously used) adds structure, creating a floral, mineral-driven wine with long aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn elegant, floral red with vibrant red fruit and mineral finesse, showcasing Bierzo’s terroir.\u003cbr\u003eThe nose reveals raspberry, black cherry, and cranberry, with garden thyme, wild mint, and slate notes.
