Vintage 2024, the Tightrope Walker
Harvest
The harvest took place from September 25 to October 11, 2024. The selection of the berries was done using a manual density sorting process. The grape reception is gravity-fed. The yield is low, at 30 hl/ha, and the production reaches 50,000 bottles.
Vinification
Fermentation occurs naturally with whole berries in 25 small, thermoregulated stainless steel vats. The extraction is gentle, performed by manual punching down, followed by a maceration period of 21 to 28 days. Malolactic fermentation occurs in the vats.
Aging
The wine is aged in 40% new barrels, 58% once-used barrels, and 2% in jars for 14 to 18 months in an underground cellar.
Tasting Notes
« Clos Fourtet stands as the undeniable flagship of Saint-Émilion in 2024.
This is the wine I longed to find in 2024: forged in hardship, and utterly magnificent.; - Alexandre Ma 96-98 / 100
