`Descendientes de J Palacios Monçerbal 2020 is a single-vineyard Mencia red wine produced by Alvaro Palacios in the Bierzo region of north-west Spain. Alongside his nephew, Ricardo Perez, Alvaro founded Descendientes de J Palacios in 1998. Together they have gained an enviable reputation for their fragrant and elegant wines made from the local variety, Mencia. The Chambolle-like Monçerbal is produced from a biodynamically farmed single vineyard in Villa de Corullón. This southeast-facing steep slope at an altitude of 700m is home to slate, quartz and marble soils.

I find the 2020 Moncerbal a little more closed than the other 2020s, darker and serious. It`s still moderately ripe, with 13.8% alcohol, sweet tannins and a soft texture. Today, it shows a little austere and very calm—it whispers. It`s quite discreet. It was bottled in October 2021, during the 2021 harvest. This is already certified organic from 2020 onward. Approachable already. 5,000 bottles were filled in October 2021. These wines were usually bottled in January/February of the following year, so in 2020 they had a shorter élevage in barrel. The wines were ready earlier.
