The 2024 vintage in Sauternes
Vintage benchmark: 89/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A rainy autumn reduced the crop to very little: the wines that were made are fine and light.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Sauternes. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
The wine reveals aromas of pear, citrus and toasted notes of Botrytis. Taut and fresh, it shows an energy and vivacity characteristic of the Barsac terroirs. The elegant bitterness and lovely freshness perfectly balance the sweetness of this 2024 vintage. The finish lingers with lovely notes of candied lemon.
