The 2024 vintage is characterised by a humid, ultra-oceanic climate. The mild and wet winter led to early bud-break, starting on 20th of March.
Frequent and above-average rainfall created a challenging environment, conducive to mildew. The experience of our teams was decisive in keeping the situation under control, always with the utmost respect for the soil and the vines. Their unwavering commitment and collective determination to surpass themselves made all the difference in the vineyard, keeping it in good sanitary condition.
The summer proved to be relatively dry, with comparable pluviometry to 2019.
In June, July and August, there was a pronounced temperature variation, with minimum temperatures slightly below the average for the last thirty years, and maximum temperatures above seasonal averages. These conditions favoured good ripening of the grapes, while keeping a great freshness.
The result is a delicate vintage with a refined purity of fruit.
Harvest
Harvesting began on September 18th and finished on October 4th.
During these decisive weeks, our teams carried out a meticulous and uncompromising sorting in the vineyard and on the manual sorting table in the cellar. This rigorous selection ensures that the grapes are of the highest quality, true to the expression of the Haut-Bailly terroir.
Each plot is vinified separately in vats designed to suit the micro-parcel harvest. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 25-26°C (77-78°F), with gentle pumping over. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in stainless steel vats.
For each vintage, and particularly for a demanding vintage such as 2024, our winery offers a concentration of technology promoting unparalleled levels of technical expertise: nothing is left to chance. The obsession of the cellar team is to reveal and express the soul of our terroir, with its mosaic of soils, the diversity of its grape varieties and its vines, some of which are over a hundred years old, to guarantee our wine-lovers the unique style of the Grand Vin de Lieu they expect.
Harvest dates: September 18th – October 4th
