Bright, chalky red fruits, nice lift and gentle grip without overdoing things, a little austere on the finish. Harvest September 23 to October 6, yields here were relatively normal at at around 40hl/h, and by the beginning of September they had deleafed on both sides to help ripening. Well handled from Noëmie Durantou.

This is great! Lovely pure black currant, pixilated in its detail and with a crunchy bite and freshness to it. A touch of ferrous minerality. Texturally this is very pure and crystalline but without this being slight or slender in any way. I love the subtle florality too that I have never detected here before. There’s a lovely limestone granularity to the tannins and a pleasingly chewy sapidity on the finish. As good a vintage of this as I can recall.

Saintayme's bouquet shines with freshness and fruit. I like the term "luminous precision" used by the Durantou family for the 2024 vintage. The nuances of black berries paired with notes of iris and mint open up perspectives dedicated to freshness. On the palate, the wine maintains a sparkling logic; it is juicy, full-bodied, and supported by a concise structure and compact tannins. A powerful and juicy wine that still has some fine years ahead of it, but is also accessible when young. A must-have! 2029-2044

Rich, ripe aromatics on the nose. Concentrated and ripe, quite tannic but almost immediately softens and becomes more creamy and chalky. Clean and focused, a little light on the finish. There’s great purity to the fruit as well as having good structure. This has a good personality and lovely cool freshness on the finish. Ageing 30% new oak barrels. 3.75pH.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Zips out of the glass with spritely notes of juicy raspberries and cranberries, opening out to hints of mint tea and wet slate. The medium-bodied palate delivers plenty of bright, fresh red berry flavors with a grainy texture and refreshing finish.

The 2024 Saintayme is based on 100% Merlot from clay soils that was harvested from 23rd September to the 6th of October. Its deeper ruby hue is followed by classic Saint-Émilion limestone notes intermixed with crunchy black cherries, framboise, and sappy spring flowers. It's medium-bodied, has a pretty, elegant mouthfeel, and a good finish. This juicy, crunchy, vibrant 2024 will drink nicely right out of the gate.

Juicy, showing orange peel and sesame seeds with red-berry character. Medium-bodied, it has crunchy fruit and a clean finish. Pure merlot.

100% Merlot und ein Duft, der zum Eintauchen einlädt, strahlende Frucht, feine Würznote; satte, ungemein saftige Frucht am Gaumen, rund und weich im Auftakt, dann zupackend, feinkörniges Tannin, erstaunliche Länge.

The 2024 Saintayme was picked between September 24 and October 6 and was matured 30% in new oak. It has a slightly more fruit-driven nose compared to its peers, with ripe red cherries, wild strawberry and veins of cassis. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins on the entry, fresh and quite strict compared to previous vintages, with a slightly grainy finish. Give this a year once in bottle.

The 2024 Saintayme is quite elegant and refined. Floral overtones, bright red-toned fruit and a kick of blood orange lift this gorgeous, mid-weight Saint-Émilion. Understated and classy to the core, Saintayme is a winner in 2024.

Espresso, cocoa, black cherries, and flowers open the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, juicy, and vibrant, with a refreshing, leafy, herbal twist, and touch of chocolate that comes in at the end of the finish. This will be ready-to-go on release and age for at least a decade after that. The wine is produced from 100% Merlot, 13% ABV. Harvesting took place September 23 - October 6. Drink from 2027-2037.

From Durantou's sister, the 2024 Saintayme exhales an introverted bouquet of dark berries and spices, followed by a round, compact and moderately weighted palate with a good chassis of firm tannins, leading to a spicy finish. This pure Merlot will mature in 30% new oak.

Deep dark ruby colour, deep core, purple reflections, brightening on the rim. Fine wood savouriness, dark berry fruit, black cherries, mineral touch. Complex, ripe cherries, vivid, ripe tannins, a hint of caramel on the finish, lingers long, a versatile food wine, salty aftertaste.
