| | "In style, the most compelling 2024s are intensely flavored middleweights with good structure and energy, exhibiting integrated acidity and ripe tannin." William Kelley, Wine Advocate |
| | | ▪ "The 2024 vintage is complex, with significant variations in quality from one producer to the next, the reason is paradoxically simple: ripeness. In the wake of more benign growing seasons, it has been easy to forget that Bordeaux’s is a marginal climate for viticulture. This marginal climate contributes to the region’s strong identity, but it also entails pronounced vintage variation. In 2024, growers that cleared the hurdle of mildew then had to ripen their grapes. Terroir played a role: better-drained, earlier-ripening plots fared best. But the year also rewarded those who took risks in pursuit of fuller maturity—not in quantity, as waiting generally resulted in additional losses to disease, but in quality. While sorting was of critical importance, those who picked too early and sorted rigorously still made mediocre wines. Ripeness, in short, was the critical factor."

| ▪ "The 2024 vintage, complicated in its production, will have revealed the heterogeneity that makes the great terroirs of Bordeaux. Thanks to the passion of the winegrowers, their unfailing commitment and current techniques, it has made it possible to obtain wines of a quality incomparable to that of the last rainy vintages. Accessible in their youth, the wines will also make us dream in a few years' time."
