⏳ Preliminary assessment (Vintage currently ageing): This score of 3.9 / 5 is an estimate based on technical harvest reports and the climatic profile of the year. It will be consolidated upon official publication of reference guides.
The 2024 vintage in Saumur-Champigny is a brilliant demonstration of technical mastery in the face of demanding spring weather. While rainfall and mildew reduced yields by nearly a third, rigorous sorting in vineyard and cellar secured impeccably pure Cabernet Franc. Rated as ‘Excellent’ with a preliminary 3.9 out of 5, this vintage reconnects with classic Saumur tuffeau freshness: crunchy raspberry, fresh cherry, and violet aromas supported by silky tannins and a thirst-quenching saline finish.
