Picture Bordeaux’s top vineyards in 2024; cover crops bloom between vine rows where bare earth once reigned. Bees buzz. Horses, not tractors, plough the soil. Many more estates follow an organic or biodynamic path instead of relying on toxic sprays.

It’s all about preserving freshness in the wines. It’s a world of difference from two decades ago.
