This Tuesday 20 Augustt, it is with great excitement that we announce the start of harvesting of the 2024 vintage at Château Saint-Maur Cru Classé.

 

In the cool of the night, under a starry sky, our team started harvesting with the first bunches of Rollethe emblematic white grape variety of our terroir.

 

The 2024 vintage is very promising, but it has not been without its challenges.

 

This spring, with its heavy rainfall, put a lot of pressure on the health of our vines, forcing us to redouble our efforts to prevent diseases such as mildew.

 

However, thanks to the dedication and expertise of our team of winemakers, led by Patrick GallianoWe've risen to the challenge. Their hard work is all the more valuable this year, as it is part of our conversion to organic farming, a major commitment for the future of our estate.

 

2024 was a cooler year than 2023, so the grapes ripened more slowly and harmoniously. The traditional storm on 15 August provided a beneficial finishing touch, allowing the grapes to reach full ripeness before the harvest.

 

With the harvest now underway, it's the turn of the team d'Amélieour cellar master, to take over in the cellar and begin vinification.

Their expertise and passion will be decisive in sublimating this vintage and making exceptional wines.

 

We wish all our teams a great harvest, who work to transform these precious grapes into nectars that reflect the soul of our terroir and the excellence of Château Saint-Maur Cru Classé.

 

Stay close to us as we follow this crucial harvest period, marked by our commitment to viticulture that respects nature and exceptional winemaking.
