2019 Bourgogne Aligoté En Coulezain, Les Horées

2019 Bourgogne Aligoté En Coulezain, Les Horées

This is the only white that Catharina makes. The grapes come from Volnay, and, though Aligoté can tend to underripeness, these have achieved a very elegant and ripe 13.5%. She vinified it in two parts: one with five days skin contact, the other without, and blended them after malolactic fermentation. There is a brilliant concentration and energy in the wine, with an apple and lemon zing. Who needs Chardonnay when Aligoté can be this good?

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.
