We were recently joined by several Burgundy winemakers for our 2024 En Primeur tasting in Wi******er. Over 60 wines from the vintage were open and, while the Burgundian summer of 2024 may have been cool, damp and very challenging for the growers, it is clear the resulting wines have triumphed over the climatic adversity. The best are very good indeed - and there is quality to be found at all levels.
Taken as a whole, the whites are the stars of the vintage. There is no shortage of concentration, fruit or acidity and they will age very well. Anyone who loves classic Burgundian Chardonnay can stock up with confidence.
The reds, however, are not far behind. They will drink early and deliver a huge amount of pleasure; there was plenty of aromatic red berry and cherry fruit on display. The cooler vintage has produced classic red Burgundies that are elegant and refined with modest alcohol levels.
