2024 Pingus

The nose of the 2024 Pingus is surprisingly harmonious, floral, perhaps a little more herbal, more subtle and not super showy or in your face, with some toast from the barrels at the core. He saved all the grapes from the frost of April 23-24 using burners. ("The candles and all the stuff cost me 60,000 Euros," explained Sisseck. "It was completely crazy, but we saved Pingus. After that, they installed big burners in the vineyard...) This was the first year when the temperature during the fermentation went up in a couple of vats, as the fermentation is quite stable and always done in the same way and in the same vats; but this time, the fermentations were a little more complicated. The wine is juicy and has fine tannins; it's not a showy vintage, perhaps a little in the style of 2014? There are some 23 or 24 barrels selected for Pingus at the moment, a little less than in 2023.
