2024 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Fichots, Les Horées

2024 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Fichots, Les Horées

Cellar Circle Exclusive

This is a highpoint in the Horées cellar, which now has more backbone than in the early vintages. It should have the longest drinking window of the 2024s, and while most of Catharina’s wine drink so well from youth, I’d urge patience for this one. It has a superb, floral acidity, combining weightless flow with real intensity. Only two barrels made in 2024.

Tasting notes

Catharina’s team now do all the work except ploughing. A darker ruby, plenty of fruit in a firmer idiom. Fifty-year-old vines, still vigorous, 60% whole bunch, not evident on the nose but really freshens up the palate. Racy alpine strawberry. Vinification could be done without sulphur which shows the health of the grapes. Drink from 2028-2032. Tasted Oct 2025.
