Finca Villacreces
Ce domaine d’exception est situé tout à côté de Vega Sicilia. Ses vignes s’étalent jusqu’aux rives du Douro. Les raisins de cette petite « boutique-winery » étaient utilisées naguère par Peter Sisseck pour son Flor de Pingus. La plupart de ses vins ont une belle charge tannique et son affinés en barriques de chêne français. Nous vous conseillons donc de les passer en carafe.

Commandez Finca Villacreces 2014 ici
The very toasty eponymous 2014 Finca Villacreces follows the line of the 2012 I tasted last time. It's a blend of Tempranillo with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Merlot from their estate vineyards in the village of Quintanilla de Onésimo. The vines are organically-farmed and the wines matured in French oak barrels for 14 months, where 50% of the barrels were new and the other half were second-use. It's a powerful, ripe and generously-oaked Ribera del Duero, with clout and concentration, but with good balance. The tannins are fine-grained and there is good freshness. It should develop nicely in bottle.
Finca Villacreces 2015 - 28,12 €
Le grand vin de la maison. 2015 est une des plus beaux millésimes de ces dernières années en Ribera del Duero. Encore beaucoup de potentiel !

91/100 The eponymous red 2015 Finca Villacreces is a dark, ripe and concentrated blend of Tempranillo with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Merlot produced in a slightly international style with plenty of oak flavors and aromas. It's a rich, full-bodied red with plenty of tannins in need of some more time in bottle and powerful food
Finca Villacreces 2017 [SOLD OUT] - 28,12 €
Ce 2017 est un peu plus élégant et accessible que le puissant 2015, mais il a tout de même reçu un très beau score !

I also tasted the 2017 Finca Villacreces from a very challenging year that they consider very good for their vineyards despite the loss of 50% of the crop. It's a blend of Tempranillo with 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot that matured in French oak barrels (50% of them new) for 14 months. I was pleasantly surprised by this wine, given the extremely challenging conditions of the year; and it didn't only show well on its own, it showed better than the 2016 that I tasted next to it! It's perhaps a lighter year, but the fruit is in the foreground; it's clean and there is no excess ripeness, and the oak felt quite integrated. It's nicely textured and sapid, almost salty.
Hermanos Pérez Pascuas
Il s’agit du premier domaine avec lequel La Buena Vida se soit engagé dans la Ribera del Duero.
Pérez Pascuas est synonyme de tradition et de classicisme. La même philosophie et le même style de vins que Vega Sicilia. Si vous aimez les vins « old school » avec un petit côté moderne et de bon rapport qualité prix, mettez ceux-ci dans votre cave. Ils vieillissent de manière phénoménale et avec les années, ils prennent ces notes animales typiques qui vont si bien au Ribera del Duero quand il arrive à maturité.
Viña Pedrosa crianza 2018 - 26,20 €
Le vin idéal à oublier quelques années en cave, mais déjà très agréable à boire.
(92/100)
Commandez Viña Pedrosa crianza 2018 ici
More classical and with more spicy oak, the 2018 Viña Pedrosa Crianza is rich and has a recognizable nose of ripe berries and spices. It's medium-bodied and has abundant, fine-grained tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. It spent 18 months in barrel, more than the required time to be Crianza. Hermanos Pérez Pascuas remains one of the most classical of the Ribera del Duero family wineries created in 1980, one of the oldest in the appellation. They produce a range of red wines in the official categories—Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva—from their 120 hectares of vineyards.
Viña Pedrosa reserva 2016 - 46,46 €
Notre favori. Un Reserva impressionnant, issu d’une année exceptionnelle. Et quel score !
(94/100)
Commandez Viña Pedrosa reserva 2016 ici
The truly impressive 2016 Viña Pedrosa Reserva is a textbook example of ripe Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero with the austerity of the Castilian weather and the poor limestone-rich soils that give it a chalky mouthfeel. It's juicy and a little chewy but has plenty of fruit to counterbalance those tannins, and it has grip and should do well with the regional foods like roasted lamb or suckling pig. 2016 was a cooler year, and the wine shows very good balance and freshness.
Viña Pedrosa, Gran Reserva 2014 - 80,99 €
Le grand vin de la maison; un Gran Reserva encore très jeune, avec un énorme potentiel de garde. Ribera del Duero !
(94/100)
Commandez Viña Pedrosa, Gran Reserva 2014 ici
The Pérez Pascuas family considers the heterogeneous 2014 a very good vintage for them, and the Gran Reserva wines I tasted from that year were truly impressive. Starting with the 2014 Viña Pedrosa Gran Reserva, it's pure Tempranillo from old vines this time (it sometimes contains some Cabernet Sauvignon, but apparently not in 2014) and achieved very good ripeness without excess. The élevage in French barriques for 24 months has polished the edges and delivered a polished and round palate with a velvety texture and a balanced mouthfeel. It has the house signature, elegant rusticity and integrated oak—a wine that screams Ribera del Duero.
Viña Pedrosa, Gran Reserva 2012, 40 aniversario - 132,10 €
Pour son 40eme anniversaire, la maison a réalisé cette cuvée limitée pour laquelle une étiquette artistique étiquette artistique. Dernières bouteilles !

Commandez Gran Reserva 2012, 40 aniversario ici
There is an exceptional 2012 Viña Pedrosa Gran Reserva 2012 – 40 Aniversario dressed with a painting from artist Cristóbal Gabarrón to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the winery. The 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grapes were selected from head-pruned vines that are at least 60 years old, and it fermented with their own strain of yeasts and matured in French and American oak barrels for 24 months. it showcases the evolution of their most classical wines that age gracefully into mellow aromas of meat, forest floor, sweet spices and earth. The palate is powerful yet polished, with rich and persistent flavors and a sleek, elegant, dry finish. It should continue aging nicely in bottle in a plateau.
