The soils shift from gravelly mudstone into lighter alluvial material, and that mix tends to give him a nice balance of fruit power and acidity to work with each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the cool, low yielding 2023 season, 2024 was a return to something more typical. Yields were better, flavour ripeness was easier to hit, and the winemaking followed a pretty relaxed path. A small tweak for 2024 was giving some of the fruit a light crush before pressing, aiming to pull a bit more flavour and texture from the skins. The rest stayed familiar wild ferment straight to French oak (a mix of barriques and larger formats, with about 12% new), full malo, and almost a year on lees before a short rest in tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine feels more open and approachable than the 2023 release smoother acidity, a little extra weight through the mid palate, and just enough phenolic grip to keep things tidy. A quick splash in a decanter helps it stretch its legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Good extension of flavour, excellent flow, very elegant as a comment.
