2023 Coteaux Bourguignons Mon Poulain, Les Horées

2023 Coteaux Bourguignons Mon Poulain, Les Horées

Cellar Circle Exclusive

Strictly limited to 6 bottles per customer

This is a blend of Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Beaune and Gamay from Catharina’s own vineyard in Pommard and some fruit from Fleurie in Beaujolais. The Gamay is vinified using 50% whole-bunch, and the resulting lifted, supple, juicy character gives this wine great appeal. Also a very attractive minerality throughout.

Tasting notes

50% from Fleurie picked 26th August, then a quarter each from Catharina’s own Monpoulain vineyard and from Côte de Beaune appellation grapes. Bottled in June. A beautiful nose in the expressive airy floral style of the vintage (and Fleurie). The model is to keep the sulphur very low, to make an adorable, beautifully juicy wine that can be drunk at breakfast, lunch or dinner, says Catharina. Drink from 2025-2026. Tasted Oct 2023. 5 stars.

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.
