November 7, 2024 — The seasonal climate fluctuations impacted the harvest significantly, but provided good ventilation for the grapes. With careful sorting and meticulous winemaking work, this fine raw material will be able to reach its potential, resulting in delicious wines – both white and red – for the 2024 vintage.
Vinification time has seen smiles return to the vineyard. The results are a reward for the tireless dedication of the growers throughout the season.
Conditions for vinification have been favourable, with a smooth, swift start to fermentation. There will be plenty of balance – with the promise of pleasure to come.
White wines: well-balanced and refined
Having enjoyed sunshine until mid-September, the white wines are beautifully balanced, with notes of fresh fruit and citrus. They are characterised by their freshness and purity -two essential qualities of Bourgogne whites.
Red wines: aromatic and indulgent
This vintage delivers red berry flavours: raspberry, blackcurrant, and gooseberry. The wines have rich and generous aromas, and a captivating garnet-red hue. Fine and delicate tannins lend the wines a structure marked by finesse and elegance.
Crémant de Bourgogne
The base wines have excellent balance, promising refined Crémant de Bourgogne that will age well in the case of cuvées that enjoy extended time on the racks. These wines are fruity and light, with an attractive tautness.
The Chardonnays are characterised by almonds, white flowers, and notes of esters (such as boiled sweets and exotic fruits). They have an elegant structure, with well-integrated acidity and a finely-balanced touch of bitterness.
The Pinot Noir is more structured, with cherry and plum notes and a powerful palate — making it ideal for Blanc de Noirs and rosés crafted for gastronomy. The Gamays are expressive and indulgent, with notes of red berries such as strawberry and raspberry.
