2021 Bourgogne Rouge Le Vieux Sage, Les Horées

2021 Bourgogne Rouge Le Vieux Sage, Les Horées

Catharina’s 70 year old Bourgogne Rouge vines are in Pommard, and she now does a slightly longer élévage on this than previously. The tannins are so finely knit, and the whole bunch style of winemaking she favours really suits the fruit here, producing a perfumed, chalky, supple wine with a gorgeous herbal, savoury note running through.

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.
