2024 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne, Les Horées

2024 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne, Les Horées

Cellar Circle Exclusive

This is a bit of a unicorn. Catharina thought she had landed on a long-term contract when she purchased these grapes in 2024, only to find her hopes dashed the following vintage. She dislikes doing one-offs, but she had no choice in the matter here. So, my advice is, snap it up: this is your only chance. It is staggeringly elegant, with the energy and length you would expect from this excellent premier cru.

Tasting notes

A one shot. A spicy reduction on top of cooked lemon skins. Stony notes on the palate, a saline style. This has depth and balance, but is still waiting to find its direction. Drink from 2028-2032. 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.
