2023 Volnay, Le Matin Blanc, Les Horées

Cellar Circle Exclusive

Strictly limited to 3 bottles per customer

This is another new cuvée in 2023. Catharina recently began to farm the tiny plot, so it is set to become a new reference point in her portfolio. The vineyard is planted on a little terrace and needs to be worked with a horse. She’s used 50% 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, sapid, lacy tannins and a silky, mineral length tinged with blood orange. Amazing energy and a great new addition.

This wine is now sold out. Please get in touch with your advisor or one of our team on [email protected] 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.
