2020 Gevrey-Chambertin En Reniard, Les Horées

2020 Gevrey-Chambertin En Reniard, Les Horées

This Gevrey-Chambertin in 2020 is really quite different in character from the 2019. Where 2019 was quite structured and meaty, this is luminous and light-footed. The tannins are there, but they add length rather than any weight or too much intensity. The notes of brambly fruit on the nose are enticing already, but of all the wines in the Horées cellar, I suspect this will enjoy a few years in bottle the most.

Les Horées

German-born, trained chef Catharina Sadde has one of Burgundy’s most impressive CVs. Her fearless determination to succeed, despite being a relative newcomer in Burgundy, has seen her estate’s reputation rocket. She now makes some of the region’s most sought-after wines. Her skills were honed with stints at Domaine de la Romanée Conti, Domaine Comte Armand, Marquis d’Angerville, and Cécile Tremblay, having graduated from Germany’s most prestigious wine school, Geisenheim. Les Horées is the culmination of a decade of fine tuning her winemaking skills, buying up vineyards that she loves, and working closely with a few other grape growers who share her philosophy. She now works from her cellars in Beaune, has a penchant for the lesser-known Burgundy varieties, Aligoté and Gamay, alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and is an enthusiastic practitioner of biodynamic farming.
