A fantastic opportunity for any wine lover, our Bordeaux En Primeur 2024 offering gives you the chance to purchase the 2024 vintage wines while they are still maturing in oak barrels at the châteaux in France. O'Briens Wine Director, Lynne Coyle Master of Wine shares her thoughts on the 2024 vintage:

An expert's view:
"Following our trip to Bordeaux in April to taste the 2024 vintage, we have handpicked a selection of wines that reflect the excellent quality available from certain châteaux along with the good value that the 2024 vintage reflects. Whilst the 2024 growing season was tricky with high rainfall experienced, better weather prevailed in July and August helping the grapes along. This coupled with careful fruit selection in both the vineyard and cellar, means that there are good wines on offer from good properties.
In 2024 the overall impression is that the wines are vibrant and fresh from this classic oceanic vintage. Still, expect intensity of flavour, and structured tannins, the wines will be able to be drunk within the next five to ten years. In general the prices offer value especially coming on the back of the 2023 price reductions and it could be a good year to treat yourself to some top names."
