Baptiste and Julie Guinaudeau, together with Omri Ram—the “Bez” of Lafleur—gave me their insights into the 2024 vintage. “Two thousand twenty-four confirmed many things we thought in previous years,” Baptiste told me, “For instance, that the difference between good and great wines is the quality of tannins. You need a long maturity and a slow ripening to create brightness. The global change [in weather conditions] is most marked in the month of February. Vines start and finish their growth cycle earlier, so you have to slow it down. February was warm with early budding, and that posed challenges. Various weather events managed to slow down the cycle. Flowering was over five or six days. The tannins are superior due to their slow development. September polished the tannins. You need minimal yield and berry weight to counterbalance the excess of the vintage, and in 2024, we found that the weight of berries was the same as in 2022. You have to accept that mildew, frost and coulure, etc. are just part of the process. We picked at 49 hl/ha.”
