I was in Bordeaux two weeks ago, tasting extensively to get a clear sense of the vintage—I’ll have some updated notes coming soon but here’s some initial thoughts
This is a vintage you'll be able to enjoy on the younger side, much like 2004. The wines show accessibility, freshness, and charm, even in their youth.
I tasted very few wines that were thin or green—a testament to the state-of-the-art winemaking, sheer talent, and hard work of our friends in Bordeaux. Even in a tricky growing season, quality prevailed.
This is a vintage to focus on the top Châteaux. These estates had the resources to do whatever was necessary to produce wines they’re proud of, and it shows in the glass.
Prices are way down. Cheval Blanc released yesterday at its lowest price since 2004, and Montrose is being offered at its lowest price in over 20 years. The Larcis price is a steal, Haut Bailly came down 32% , etc. etc. This represents a rare opportunity for savvy collectors.
Again, more notes and individual wine picks coming soon—stay tuned!

The 2024 Angelus is very fine. It is the first vintage I have tasted that captures the newer approach at Angelus, one where the wines are not as extracted as in the past. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather and menthol fill out the layers effortlessly....
The 2024 Beychevelle might very well be the wine of the vintage in Saint-Julien. It is certainly among the very best I tasted on the Left Bank. Plush, inky and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2024 is so silky and inviting. Blue/purplish fruit, laven...
The 2024 Branaire-Ducru offers up a pretty and precise bouquet of cassis, violets and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, supple and suave, with polished tannins and tangy acids, it's a fine-boned, delicate wine from Branaire that was harvested between 20 Sep...
A blend of 48% Cabernet Franc, 48% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Château Cheval Blanc is one of the stars of the vintage. Unwinding in the glass with notes of minty berries and plums mingled with violets, cigar wrapper and rose petals, ...
The 2024 Clos Fourtet is a gorgeous, elegant wine. Medium in body, with terrific persistence and notable purity, Clos Fourtet impresses with its balance more than anything else. Dark blue fruits, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and dried herbs open fir...

The 2024 Haut-Bailly was picked from September 25 to October 4 and matured in 50% new oak, possibly with a shorter élevage. As usual, it deserves patience at this stage as it gradually opens and coheres with aeration. This has a perfumed bouquet built aro...
The 2024 Late-Rothschild is a sensual, elegant wine very much in the
style of the year. Plush and enveloping, with lovely forward fruit, the
2024 is very Late, perhaps a bit reticent, but super-expressive just the
same. Black cherry, pomegranate, bloo...
The 2024 Larcis Ducasse is dense, powerful and imposing, almost surprisingly so. All of the wine's intensity is in the mid-palate. Black cherry, plum, mocha, lavender, chocolate and cinnamon meld together in the glass, but it is the wine's mind-blowing ba...
The 2024 Léoville Barton is a very beautiful wine. Black cherry, plum,
lavender, new leather, graphite, crushed rocks, mocha and spice all
