The 2024 wine-growing year began with an exceptionally wet spring – the wettest since 1965. The cool and humid weather conditions persisted until May and early June. The result was delayed flowering and, in the case of some grape varieties, coulure, i.e. clusters with reduced numbers of developing grapes. This translated into reductions in yield of between 15 and 40 percent, with the Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc and Lagrein particularly affected.

July was a month of frequent thunderstorms, while the weather in August was dry and warm. These conditions lasted until the beginning of September, but temperatures then dropped significantly around the middle of the month. This considerably slowed grape ripening and made it challenging for the late-ripening red varieties to reach full maturity.

In such a demanding year, prime exposed sites have proven to be particularly advantageous. The weather conditions required a lot of work, commitment and expertise on the part of our winegrowers. But their dedication has paid off:

The 2024 vintage is looking promising! In particular, the white wines and Pinot Noirs are already making a very positive impression.
