The 2024 vintage makes for unique wines. It rained throughout spring and summer in the Loire, and fighting the elements meant treating your vines against the spread of mildew and oidium. Thierry Beclair made the decision not to treat at all and lost 90% of his harvest. The resulting wine is, however, a real treat. It’s incredibly citrusy, but with all the texture and salt needed to make it harmonious. Think Meyer lemon on an oyster. We bought the wine the second time we tasted it, as it had improved so much over a few months. The acidity is now opening up to all the layers Chenin Blanc has to offer. Packed with energy, it’s one of the most unique expressions of Chenin Blanc you can find from that vintage. No sulfur added, vinified in fiberglass. We recommend keeping it until at least winter 2027 to let it settle.
