Northern Rhône 2024: One Hill Rises

In 2024, the Northern Rhône delivered Syrahs of striking aromatic typicity, anchored by a distinctive peppery profile reminiscent of past cooler vintages. This report examines how an exceptionally challenging growing season shaped both red and white wines across all eight appellations. After a final word on the in-bottle 2023 reds, I look ahead to the extremely low-yielding 2025 harvest and the potential addition of a new cru to the region.

2024 Piattelli Vineyards Malbec-Tannat Reserve

2024 Piattelli Vineyards Malbec-Tannat Reserve, 91 points

The 2024 Malbec-Tannat Reserve (50/50) from Cafayate, Argentina, offers lovely layers of fresh plum and blackberry, accented by a balsamic touch and violet floral top notes. It is expressive on the palate, with lively tannins, a juicy flow and a hint of indulgent richness. Deeply flavorful. (JH)

2013 Domaine Didier Dagueneau – Louis Benjamin Pouilly-Fumé Silex

I drink far too few Loire whites these days. A recent encounter with a bottle of 2013 Pouilly-Fumé Silex from Dagueneau served as a pertinent reminder of what I am missing out on.
