Note di degustazione
The 2024 G D'Estournel is mostly Merlot yet includes 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. This deep purple-hued effort offers solid cassis and darker berry fruit as well as some real richness and depth on the palate. It brings some firmer tannins, but I love its purity, it's medium-bodied, and it will certainly be a solid, delicious wine.

Focus and purity to the fruit aromatics, careful construction, leafy character that manages to turn into sappy juiciness on the finish, but lacks the concentration of recent vintages. 29hl/h yield, harvest September 23 to October 7, lower temperature fermentation around 26C than in the past, and shorter maceration, 3.61ph.
The 2024 G d'Estournel is impressive. Deep, powerful and virile, the G is endowed with notable textural presence. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, licorice, mocha, lavender and spice are all amplified. This hearty Haut-Médoc has a ton to offer. Gorgeous.
The 2024 Fugue de Nenin is aged for ten months, 5% in new oak and the remainder in used. It has an uncomplicated bouquet that blends sappy red berry fruit with a touch of fig. The palate is medium-bodied and balanced with soft tannins on the entry, but it feels a little simplistic on the finish. This is an early-drinking Pomerol.
