Côte de Beaune 2024 (white)
2024 will remain etched in the memory of the French as a rainy year—very rainy indeed. Bourgogne
was no exception. Winegrowers faced a host of climatic challenges (frost, hail, heavy rainfall) that quickly
affected potential yields. Fortunately, the dry, sunny weather in August allowed the grapes to ripen fully. For Côte de Beaune white wines, fully ripened grapes yielded wines of great aromatic intensity, with delightful notes of yellow fruit, grapefruit, and citrus. Their palate is balanced, fleshy, and juicy, with alcohol levels slightly lower than in recent years. With finishes that combine minerality and richness, the 2024 wines are already showing remarkable charm. They will also continue to evolve favorably over the coming years.
