Margaux · vintage 2024
The 2024 vintage in Margaux
Vintage benchmark: 87/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A rainy spring and a difficult flowering reduced the crop; the dry October saved fine, light, easy-drinking wines.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Margaux. 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
Un vin éclatant et raffiné, aux arômes de framboise écrasée,
d’orange et de chocolat noir. La bouche, fraîche et croquante, offre des tanins
fins et équilibrés, une belle tension et une finale longue et élégamment étirée.
