2023 Gevrey-Chambertin, J'écris ton nom, Les Horées

Cellar Circle Exclusive

Strictly limited to 3 bottles per customer

A new addition to the range in 2023, two thirds of the fruit is sourced from En Reniard adding bright, luminous fruit, with the other third from Combe du Bas, adding spiciness. The nose is beautifully fruit forward. The 50% and 100% whole-bunch used respectively here works a treat, producing a perfumed, mineral, and supple wine. The tannins are present, but they add length rather than weight or too much intensity. P.S. the inspiration for the name of this new addition comes from the poem Liberté by Paul Eluard.

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.
