- 93 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Luis Gutierrez: „I tasted the bottled version of the 2016 La Fleur de Vivaltus (formerly Petit Vivaltus), which showed pretty much like the sample I tasted with Jean-Claude Berrouet and his son Jeff in Madrid on a warm summer Monday morning in 2018. It's mostly Tempranillo with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and has 13.9% alcohol. It fermented with neutral yeasts followed by an élevage that lasted 12 months in 70% used barrels, 20% new ones and 10% in concrete eggs. This shows very good freshness and elegance, a style I have also seen in some of the Yllera wines from this vintage (Jesús Yllera and Yllera Dominus), floral, perfumed and elegant, with a vibrant palate with very good freshness and clean, focused flavors. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2018.“
- 94 Punkte TIM ATKIN: "Early picked for freshness, this has subtle reduction, fine tannins, sweet red fruits and impressive length" Tim Atkin MW, Special report, Ribera del Duero 2019 Top 100
- 92 Punkte JANE ANSON: „VivaltuS came on the Place de Bordeaux in September 2022, and is joined here by the 2nd wine from the same 2016 vintage. I suggest giving it a few hours in a carafe, as there is plenty of structure (the vines head up to 90 years old) but with a bit of opening up there is no need to wait any longer to begin drinking. Clear fennel, tobacco and smoked cedar adds depth to the blackberry and loganberry fruits. Jean-Claude and Jeff Berrouet consultants, with winemaker Montxo Martinez and owners Marcos and Carlos Yllera.“

Notizen des Weinguts: | First winter months were dry and gently until February 2016 when the cold, frosts and snow arrived. Spring brought good raining with low temperatures, delaying the vine sprouting to mid April. Summer was dry and fresh, with lots of thermal variations between day and night (from 35ºC to 5ºC in some parcels) lowing PH, improving natural acidity and delaying ripening. Climate conditions in September and October were perfect and start harvest in perfect timing. Harvest started on September 29th. Each parcel is vinified separately using the force of gravity during all the process. The grapes are selected both in the vineyard and winery. Fermented by natural yeast with minimum intervention. Wine made by our winemaker MONTXO MARTINEZ alongside the great JEAN-CLAUDE BERROUET. Focused on freshness, finesse and elegancy rather than over extraction and over concentration. Traditional but modern at the same time, bringing us to the vineyards where it was born. VivaltuS is a new interpretation of Ribera del Duero. A wine where you can find elegancy, freshness, finesse and complexity. Silky melted tannins and evolving texture followed by a long tasty finish. Our goal is to undress the wine from unnecessary artifices seeking the balance among fruit, oak and elegancy. A great representation of what we want to be in Ribera del Duero. |
