2024 Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes, Les Horées

Cellar Circle Exclusive

Another newcomer in 2024, this is set to be a mainstay of her list going forward. Unfashionable as it may be, Catharina cannot hide her love for Beaune. It is refreshing to see such a trend setter taking up the mantle of this often overlooked appellation. The wine shows a wonderful smoky note. She says “it’s a cheerful wine, with quite some shoulders".

Tasting notes

Catharina is particularly impressed by the organic supplier of these grapes. Glowing purple. A really lovely floral nose with some lifted red fruit, 60% whole bunch vinification, has been very well managed in this wine. Four barrels, strongly recommended. The grain of the tannins is just right and supported by balanced acidity. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2025.

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.
