2024 Pommard 1er Cru Les Saussilles, Les Horées

2024 Pommard 1er Cru Les Saussilles, Les Horées

Cellar Circle Exclusive

Brand new to the portfolio in 2024, this wine means business. The vineyard lies next to Beaune’s celebrated Clos des Mouches. The vineyard is biodynamically farmed and Catharina was thrilled to start buying grapes from here. She was brave in vinifying this with 100% whole-bunch. In hindsight she says she might not have done that again, but it is testament to her dextrous ability in the cellar that she has made a genuinely impressive inaugural wine here: it has firm tannins, but a pure and sustained fruit length. Watch this space.

Tasting notes

The pinker side of ruby. 100% whole bunch but it has delivered great energy, and is really well balanced. Pretty and lively alpine strawberry with good length, currently a slightly hard finish but this will work, as emphasised by the fine long aftertaste. 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.
