Les Horées
Les Horées is a Burgundian wine estate and micro-negociant founded by Catharina and Guilhem Sadde, based in Beaune. Catharina Sadde manages the vineyards and winemaking using an uncertified organic and biodynamic approach, featuring native yeast fermentations, measured use of sulfur, and a variable proportion of whole clusters for the reds. The estate works its own parcels and completes its range with grapes purchased from long-term partner growers.

Histoire du domaine
Of German origin and initially trained as a chef, Catharina Sadde turned to wine after a harvest experience in the Nahe region. She studied viticulture and oenology in Geisenheim and Montpellier, then trained at several Burgundian estates, notably Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Comte Armand, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, Marquis d'Angerville, and Cécile Tremblay. She met Guilhem Sadde, then an auctioneer, in 2010 during an internship at Pablo Chevrot. The couple founded Les Horées in 2019 and produced their first vintage that year, representing around 7,000 bottles. Initially located in rented premises in Pommard, the estate later transferred its production to a larger winery in Beaune. The project combines winegrowing ownership and micro-negociant activity: Catharina Sadde recently stated that she farms 4.1 hectares and has established lasting relationships with several grape suppliers. The name Les Horées refers to the Horae of Greek mythology, deities associated with the rhythm and changing of the seasons.
Le Matin
Le Matin Blanc is a red Volnay made exclusively from Pinot Noir originating from the lieux-dits Sur Roches and Paux Bois. The grapes from both parcels are vinified together, with 50% whole clusters, then aged in used barrels. Despite its name, this is not a white wine.

- A fresh and slender red Volnay, prioritizing the expression of Pinot Noir, a fine texture, and a mineral dimension. The partial whole-cluster fermentation and aging in used barrels aim to preserve the fruit and transparency of the wine.
- Position within the range
- A parcel-based, confidential Volnay Village, integrated into the range of appellation reds from Les Horées.
Histoire de la cuvée
A new cuvée introduced with the 2023 vintage, following the takeover by Les Horées of a small parcel of Volnay worked with a horse. It combines grapes from Sur Roches, cultivated by the estate, with those from Paux Bois, sourced externally.
