Cromey Le Clos 2024
A historic clos, renewed for a defining vintage...
The 2024 Burgundy vintage will be remembered as one that rewarded commitment, judgement and deep respect for the land. Few wines express this more clearly than Cromey Le Clos 2024, drawn from a vineyard whose history and integrity lie at the very heart of Burgundy.
Le Clos is an enclosed vineyard with centuries of provenance, long recognised for the purity of its soils and the natural balance of its exposure. Protected by its historic stone walls, the site has always been worked with restraint, allowing the character of the land to speak without embellishment.
In recent years, the vineyard has undergone a careful and thoughtful renovation: soils revitalised, vine health restored and every intervention guided by the principle of preservation rather than modernisation. The result is a clos returned to its original purpose – an unmediated expression of place.
2024: A Season That Rewarded the Most Attentive Vineyards
That sense of purity proved invaluable in 2024. This was a season of exceptional challenge: heavy rainfall, severe mildew pressure and sharply reduced yields meant that only the most attentive vineyards – and the most disciplined growers – succeeded.
At Le Clos, meticulous work in the vines, rigorous selection and perfectly judged harvest timing transformed adversity into advantage.
A Model of Classical Burgundy
The resulting wine is a model of classical Burgundy. Cromey Le Clos 2024 offers freshness, precision and inner energy rather than excess weight. The fruit is vivid and detailed, the structure finely drawn, and the overall impression one of calm authority.
Lower alcohols and natural tension recall some of Burgundy’s most beloved recent vintages – years prized for elegance, transparency and sheer drinkability.
This is very much a vigneron’s vintage, and Le Clos stands among its quiet successes. Production is extremely limited, reflecting the tiny yields of the year, and allocations are correspondingly small.
Yet despite this scarcity, pricing has been approached with notable restraint, aligning with a growing consensus across Burgundy that long-term trust matters more than short-term gain.
