2022 Volnay, Sur Roches, Les Horées

2022 Volnay, Sur Roches, Les Horées

This is another new cuvée in 2022. In 2023 Catharina began farming the three tiny plots, so it is set to become a new reference point in her portfolio. She’s used 100% whole-bunch on this wine, as much out of necessity (such a small volume) as from desire, but it works very well. It shows a juicy acidity and a smooth, aromatic length. (Autumn 2024 release)

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.
