Bourgogne Blanc Aganippe, Les Horees Catharina Sadde 2025
Les Horees Catharina Sadde
DUE TO THE EXCLUSIVITY OF THIS WINE WE CAN NOT APPLY ANY FURTHER DISCOUNTS.
Catharina is undoubtedly one of the rising stars of Burgundy. Following her winemaking degree in Germany, Catharina has gone on to train within some of the world’s most iconic estates, such as Domaine Romanee Conti, Cecile Tremblay, Comte Armand, and Marquis d'Angerville.During these years of tutelage, she has diligently purchased various small parcels across Burgundy, notably in Volnay, Beaune, and Pommard. Alongside a few other plots that she rents, Catherina follows biodynamic principles and grows Chardonnay, Aligoté, Pinot Noir, and Gamay.
It is fair to say that Catherina's winemaking style is very much hands-off, allowing her meticulous farming and the health of her vines to speak for themselves. Despite so many natural challenges in Burgundian grape growing, Catherina's vineyards are flourishing and she is able to release wines that almost never need any sulphur additions.Stylistically, her wines offer up intense concentration, depth, and terroir expression. Her premier crus are made to go the distance and we recommend some additional cellaring time before cracking into them!
Aganippe is a Bourgogne Blanc bringing together Chardonnay from an old vineyard in Puligny with fruit from Catharina Sadde’s own young vines in Pommard, planted in 2022. The wine is vinified without sulphur before ageing for six months in barrel, giving a fresh and approachable expression designed to be enjoyed from release. Ripe citrus and orchard fruit meet white flowers and gentle spice, with a subtle creamy texture from the élevage. The palate remains bright and energetic, balancing generous fruit with fine acidity and a mineral edge. Supple, precise and immediately expressive, while retaining the freshness and finesse that define the wines of Les Horées.
