2024 Burgundy Growing Season and Harvest
Introduction by Our Resident Senior Consultant

The 2024 Vintage in a Nutshell

Many magnificent and delicious wines have been made, both red and white, in spite of growing conditions having been challenging, from Spring onwards.  Yields were low, but the best wines are vibrantly balanced, with fruit, freshness and length.

The 2024 Growing Season and Harvest

There was plentiful rainfall during winter 2023/24, often two days out of three, which continued during April and May.  Many treatments were needed, at our conscientious growers, along with training shoots and aerating young bunches, to ward off mildew.  Weather was inclement during the early-June flowering period, which contributed to crop reduction, and to grapes in any given bunch ripening at different paces.  “It’s a long time since we had such a bad summer” one grower remarked, but happily, the weather turned good in August, allowing grapes to build sugars, and continue their ripening.  Harvesting became general in mid-September, often Pinots before the Chardonnays, under welcome, sunny skies.  

The 2024 Wines

Many domaines have produced half a normal crop, or less.  Given the small yields of Pinots, more whole-bunch (without de-stemming) fermentations took place, so that sufficient volumes of grapes and stalks could be loaded into vats, for effective fermentations.  Combined with gentle punching down and pumping over, this has produced many aromatic wines, with charming fruitiness and gentle aftertastes.  Style and quality of the whites takes us back to classic Burgundies, prior to climate change and the richer alcohol levels which have become the recent norms.  These 2024 whites have brilliant fruit intensities, good balance and bright acidities.

WHY BUY EN PRIMEUR

The most obvious traditional answer was price. The basic deal was that the best price would be the en primeur or ‘futures’ price – the consumer rewarding the merchant, the merchant rewarding the negocient, the negocient rewarding the châteaux with cash up front, long before anyone would see the finished wine in bottle. 

Of course you are not buying an entire vintage, you are picking out individual wines, so over-performers who nonetheless price ‘normally’ may well prove to make financial sense.

But there are some other reasons to buy en primeur

- Provenance is assured. You will be the first to take delivery of the wine and you will have control over its handling and storage from day one, with all the assurance for preserving condition that that brings. Years down the line that will mean either drinking the wine in its optimal condition, or being able to offer it for re-sale with complete assurance to the next buyer. Everyone benefits from assured provenance.

- Access. It is true that some of these wines appear later in the secondary market in much lower quantities. This is the best chance to ensure you can own what you want.

- Sunk cost. It’s not an obvious one, but taking the pain of the expense now is something akin to savings. The wine will feel like a bonus when it comes to drinking it!

- Choice of bottle formats. If you like to own your favourite wines in a nice mix of halves, magnums and imperials, this is your best – often only – chance to have the wine bottled in formats you want. (Subject to availability and advance ordering).

- If you had a child born in 2024, or got married, this is a very nice way to mark the occasion from the outset – investing in furture anniversaries and birthdays.
