Weinwisser: "komplexes Bouquet, heller Tabak, Grafit und frischgepflückte rote Johannisbeere. Im zweiten Ansatz Wildkirsche und Sandelholz. Am straffen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, feinkörnigem, wohlschmeckendem Extrakt, perfekt balancierter Rasse und engmaschigem Körper. Im konzentrierten, langen Finale ein Feuerwerk von Brom- und Heidelbeeren, Schattenmorellensaft und anregender Salznote. Ein linearer, männlicher Clos Saint-Martin dieses Jahr, kann noch zulegen."

Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2024 Clos Saint-Martin comes from a tiny 1.36 hectares of vines and is 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It will spend 18 months in 80% new barrels and 20% in jars. Darker black cherries, scorched earth, graphite, and smoky tobacco notes all emerge from this beauty, and it's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and outstanding length. As with most 2024s, it's more about balance, finesse, and upfront charm than power and richness, and it's going to drink nicely right out of the gate."

Falstaff: "Kärftiges Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Floral, rote Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Preiselbeeren, Mandarinenzesten, einladendes Bukett. Mittlere Komplexität, feine rote Beerenfrucht, balanciertes Säurespiel, elegant, bleibt haften, ein delikater, fast burgundischer Speisenbegleiter."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Flowers, cherries, licorice, and spicy plums are effortlessly present in the perfume. Silky, lush, and fresh, with a creamy mid-palate, the wine exudes charm and elegance through its layers of ripe, sweet plums and cherries. The wine blends 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Harvesting took place on two dates, September 24, and October 4. Drink from 2028-2038."

James Suckling: "Good richness and ripeness for this year, with racy plums and crushed red currants. Good fruit and flesh in the middle, with juicy, fine-grained tannins and a medium-long finish. 80% merlot, 15% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon."

Jane Anson: "Softly spoken, carefully extracted, pureed blackberry and raspberry fruits, the acidity is high but gripping, with textured slate and chalk tannins reflective of its vineyard site. Charming, and earlier drinking than many vintages from this estate. 50% new oak, 50% amphora, Julien Viaud consultant. Harvest September 24 to October 4, 33hl/h yield. Tasted twice."

Vinum: "Intensive, parfümierte Nase nach Kräuterspeck, Rauch, Brombeeren, Rhabarber und Sauerkirschen; elegant am Gaumen, erstaunlich satte Frucht, von pudrigen Kalktanninen getragen, viel Finesse, sehr gute aromatische Länge. Hohes Niveau."
