October 2024
Epfig, Alsace<\/em><\/p>\n


What has the weather been like since our last visit on 15 August?<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/div>\n

\u2018The vintage ended as it began, in the rain<\/em>,\u2019 warns Pierre. Indeed, 2024 will be marked by an all-time record for rainfall. In Strasbourg, the month of May even reached record levels, becoming the wettest since the first M\u00e9t\u00e9o France records began in 1922!

However, despite the mildew pressure that affected the Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris vines, the impact on most of the vintages was fairly positive. A few days of fine weather in August enabled the grapes to reach a sufficient level of ripeness, making the wines lower in alcohol, with 0.5 to 1 degree of alcohol less than average, and a lovely natural freshness.\u00a0

A year that breaks the cycle of the last two decades, marked by global warming, and which had produced increasingly concentrated wines with less acidity.\u00a0

These breakthrough vintages seem to be an integral part of the new \u2018normal\u2019, like 2021 and 2016.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What impact will this have on harvest dates?<\/h1>\n

The harvest window was particularly short this year (apart from the late harvests, of course, of which one Gewurztraminer parcel will be harvested in November), which added extra pressure on the teams.\u00a0

Harvesting began on 12 September for the cr\u00e9mants and continued uninterrupted until 1 October. The risk of further precipitation prompted Pierre, exceptionally, to pick a few plots by machine to save time, as he says he \u2018prefers to pick healthy grapes by machine rather than rotten ones by hand<\/em>\u2019. \u00a0

So it was a succession of sleepless nights with mechanical harvesting and days harvesting by hand, for a season that was tiring but relatively satisfactory from a quality point of view, over a much shorter period than usual.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The order of harvest dates for the different grape varieties remained in phase with the natural cycle of the vine: Cr\u00e9mant \/ Pinot Blanc \/ Pinot Gris \/ Pinot Noir \/ Muscat \/ Riesling & Gewurztraminer.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A vintage of quality, but also quantity?<\/h1>\n

Although most grape varieties produced less than usual, mainly because of the pressure of mildew and heavy rainfall, the rain also enabled some vines to form larger bunches to balance out the losses, and Pierre says he harvested more than he had hoped from his Spring projections, which was too cool and damp.

The Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris suffered from mildew, yielding half a normal crop. The generosity of the 2023 vintage for these grape varieties is helping to balance out the quantities in stock. Please note: Pinot Noir from the Fronholz Cru will not be produced in 2024, as the quantities of grapes were too small and were incorporated into the estate’s generic Pinot Noir.<\/p>\n

Can we make a comparison with a previous vintage?<\/h1>\n

The break in the dynamics of global warming is reminiscent of cooler, wetter vintages, such as 2021 and 2016. On the other hand, the phenomenon was much more marked in 2024.

This is reflected in the style of the wines, with a natural lightness that runs counter to the higher concentrations of sunnier years, and a slightly lower alcohol content, but some fine aromas all the same, particularly in the Muscat, which Pierre finds magnificent this year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How are the fermentations coming along?<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Fermentations have gone well and are now coming to an end for most of the wines. As most of the cuv\u00e9es are direct-pressed whites, fermentation started within 36 hours and the profile of the wines is very satisfactory, given the style of vintage.
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Pierre’s Vintage 2024 Highlights<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Pierre has two favorites this year. Firstly, the cr\u00e9mant, which will be bottled next Spring for a year on laths. Pierre smiles when we mention it, and confides that \u2018we can already feel that it’s going to be very nice<\/em>\u2019. And then there’s the Muscat. Although the wine from the Gottloff cru will not be produced due to a lack of quantities this year, the other Muscats have a very fine aromatic structure.

All these wines will be available from the summer of 2025, and we’ll have to wait until the Spring of 2026 for the cr\u00e9mant.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
