2021 Bourgogne Aligoté En Coulezain, Les Horées

2021 Bourgogne Aligoté En Coulezain, Les Horées

As with the 2020, this is made with the ripest third of the grapes undergoing a short period of skin contact maceration. After malolactic fermentation this portion was then blended with the other two thirds, which had been pressed directly after picking. This method gives the wine an edgy, saline freshness, with just a hint of phenolic grip adding an extra dimension and texture to the wine. The Aligoté is the wine Catharina says she always takes to tastings with other growers; her secret weapon, if you will.

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.
