Bordeaux 2024 – Wines of Class, Emotion, and Real Value

The 2024 en primeur campaign is still unfolding. While several châteaux have yet to release their wines, one thing is already clear: this is a vintage defined by restraint, freshness, and quiet confidence. Rather than overpowering opulence, 2024 offers balance, finesse, and elegance — a welcome return to the soulful side of Bordeaux.

Here’s a look at some of the wines that moved us — and a few we’re eagerly awaiting.

🏆 Top Wines That Moved Us

Château Léoville Barton. A masterclass in classic Saint-Julien. Think ripe black fruit, subtle spice, refined tannins, and an impressively long finish. A wine of restrained power and timeless poise.

Château Pontet-Canet. Stunning. Vibrant cassis and raspberry notes pop with freshness and energy. The picking window was perfectly judged — the result is pure, juicy brilliance.

Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion. Among the best 2024s we've tasted so far. A blend of ripe, open fruit, juicy acidity, fine salinity, and deep minerality. This estate is on a remarkable run.

Château Montrose. Spectacular. An elegant nose of fruit and toast, followed by a broad and fresh palate. The finish — mineral and precise — is truly memorable.

Château Angélus. Subtle and beautifully layered. Red fruit emerges gradually, unfolding into a wine of great depth and class. A standout of the vintage — and smartly priced, too.

Château Rauzan-Ségla. Elegant and polished Margaux with a fine floral lift. The fruit is pure and focused, the tannins velvety, and the overall impression one of calm precision. A wine that will reward both early and long-term drinking.

Château Figeac. A wine of grand stature and depth. Cabernet-driven freshness, graphite, and floral notes give way to a silky texture and great length. Figeac’s balance and clarity in 2024 are a testament to its status as a Right Bank icon.
