2024 White Grape Harvest: A Promising Year

Share

Ideal weather conditions

Château La Garde and Château Rahoul have wrapped up their white grape harvest, showing great potential for the 2024 vintage, particularly for Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.

The summer’s alternating warm days and cool nights provided the perfect conditions for enhancing aromatic expression while preserving the grapes’ natural acidity. A welcome rainfall on August 28 accelerated ripening without compromising fruit quality.

Harvesting began on September 3 at Château La Garde with Sauvignon Blanc, followed shortly by Sémillon at Château Rahoul from September 5 to 17, an optimal timeframe to fully capture the richness of these varieties.
