2023 Bourgogne Rouge, Des Six Ifs, Les Horées

2023 Bourgogne Rouge, Des Six Ifs, Les Horées

Cellar Circle Exclusive

Strictly limited to 3 bottles per customer

This was a new cuvée in 2022, and its name is a play on words. ‘If’ is French for yew tree, and the name describes a group of six trees; but say it out loud (en français) and you’ll see what it really means. It comes from fruit sourced 100% from Savigny Les Boutières (she started farming this vineyard from 2024 onwards), and 50% whole-bunch. It is a boisterous bourgogne rouge, with concentration and density but also lifted and lacy tannins. Loads of fun.

This wine is now sold out. Please get in touch with your advisor or one of our team on customercare@laywheeler.com or 01473 313 300 for more information or guidance on an alternative.

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.
