What is the overall impact of the 2024 harvest on the Rhône Valley wine industry, considering both production volume and quality?

The 2024 Rhône Valley wine harvest, while 11% lower than average and one of the smallest in 40 years, yielded a vintage of "extreme quality" with beautiful finesse and acidity, resulting in slightly over two million hectoliters produced. This smaller harvest comes despite a challenging growing season with exceptional rainfall and climatic hazards. The region remains the second largest vineyard in France.
