Adega Valdés is a reflection of the vocation and work of the Valdés family who for more than 30 years has been the owner of twenty hectares of vineyards on the banks of the Ulla River. In 2001, with the extension of the Rías Baixas Designation of Origin to that area, the current winery was founded, combining the family tradition with the most avant-garde winemaking techniques.
All the wines of Adega Valdés are estate grown. The quintessential grape cultivated at the property is the "albariño", the core character of its first brand, Gundian. The winery also owns a significant area dedicated to the “treixadura” variety, which allows to produce multi-varietal wines of different aromatic intensity.
The Valdés family vineyards are located in the lands of Vedra, at the foot of the historic Gundian Bridge, between Monte de las Roxas and Castro San Miguel. This privileged area belongs to the Ulla subzone, within the Rías Baixas Designation of Origin.

The 2021 Domaine Joseph Voillot Volnay Les Champans Premier Cru is from the domain’s largest premier cru holding, 4.2 acres whose vines date from 1934, 1971, and 1985. Champans is down-slope in the premier cru band, and its wine typically has more fruit and power than other Voillot Volnays.
Review:
‘The 2021 Volnay Les Champans Ter Cru has much more brightness and delineation than the Fremiets this year, with red cherries, wild strawberries and ust a touch of iodine and sous-bois. This is nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine structure, pliant tannins and a harmonious finish. Not the most complex Champans encountered from this address, yet it has class.

The 2021 les Champans is also a simply stunning example of this fine premier cru vineyard. The beautifully elegant nose wafts from the glass in a blend of red and black plums, cherries, spit-roasted quail, a complex base of soil, woodsmoke, coffee bean and a deft touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off superb depth at the core, great soil signature, ripe, fine-grained tannins and a long, nascently complex and very promising finish. This is a touch more reserved on the palate than the Fremiets and will take a bit longer to blossom, but it is going to be stellar. 2034-2085.

It means with head, it is Galician word that means a way to do the things with calm and think every step to succeed. It was a word that the founder of the winery, Manolo Arnoya, always used (“do things with Sentidiño "). The label represents a seafaring boat associated with the fisherman who bravely goes out to work on the sea and has to work with “Sentidiño” to return home safely.
Refined, soft, fresh and intense wine. It presents a powerful aroma of stone fruits, such as peach and sweet pear and it presents a freshness so characteristic of lemon. It is a pleasure for the palate!
