Intense, spicy, fragrant, leafy, these are wines that manage to take the qualities of the vintage and do their very best to work with them, delivering a gourmet kick while here not fully avoiding the austerity of 2024. Harvest 27 September to 8 October. 3.7 pH. 100% new oak.
The 2024 Clos Badon is a racy, extroverted wine. Cabernet Franc picked very late, on October 8, confers a decidedly exotic quality that matches well with the wine's opulent fruit. Blackberry jam, chocolate, sweet spice and grilled herbs are all pushed forward.
The 2024 Clos Badon-Thunevin, matured entirely in new oak, is predictably dominated by the wood on the nose. Just faint touches of mint develop in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with an oaky entry, modest depth and a slightly short finish that needs more fruit to come through to maintain balance.
