"A very bright, juicy expression from this vintage, showing good purity of blue fruit and cherries. Bright acidity with fine, chalky tannins and a pretty long finish. Very succulent, and there is lovely vibration and energy. 93% merlot and 7% cabernet franc."
92-93 points.

"The 2024 Alcée is terrific. Bright, vibrant and punchy, the Alcée is strong in 2024. I have to say, this is a style I like a great deal. Aromatic and vibrant, the 2024 has so much to offer. Cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and spice open into a core of expressive red-toned fruit. This is a terrific Alcée. Tasted two times. Drink 2026-2034."
90-92 points.

"Plum and damson fruits on the nose, high acidity, a little more pronounced than in sibling estates Puygueraud and La Prade, this has a touch of lime zest and lemongrass alongside the berry fruits - a reflection of more clay in the soils - but still a juicy signoff. Harvest 3 to 8 October. 30% new oak. Cabernet Franc from massale selection from St Emilion. This was in organic conversion, but they have stopped for the 2024 vintage. Drink 2026-2034."
