Starting out as a chef, Catharina left the restaurant industry to do a harvest in Nahe that lead her to train and study viticulture and oenology at Geisenheim and then Montpellier. She spent 2010-2018 stacking her resume with the best of Burgundy: DRC, d'Angerville, and Tremblay to name a few! She was able to purchase a few small parcels in 2018 and launched Domaine Les Horées in 2019 and has been taking the wine world by storm ever since. These are wines of energy, personality, and are simply just fun to drink. We only get a few bottles every year and are excited to include them today.
Catharina farms just 0.37 hectares of Aligote vines across Volnay and Pommard, of 35 years and 100+ years old respectively. 1/3 of the grapes are destemmed and macerated on the skins for 5 days, the remainder is directly pressed with whole clusters. Fermented with ambient yeast with no added SO2. It is then aged for 6 months in used 350L barrels. These wines are incredibly special. With fresh stony acidity, and a beautiful nose. The palette is textured and fresh with tastes of orchard fruit.
