What makes the 2024 vintage stand out?

Many insiders are already calling this vintage the most complete since 2017. The winemaker David Guimaraens said “We could not have asked for better growth conditions than those of 2024, that were typically warm throughout the summer followed by a cooler harvest period for long fermentations. The 2024 declaration represents not only the quality of a single year but also a reaffirmation of the discipline required to declare a classic vintage.”
