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.
Sur Roche
Sur Roches is a wine-growing lieu-dit in the commune of Volnay, explicitly listed by the BIVB among the lieu-dits of the appellation and not among its climats classified as Premier Cru. It occupies the upper part of a south-east-facing slope, near the forest. A professional source describing this site precisely points out a very thin layer of soil and numerous protruding stones. The "Premier Cru" indication given in the local context is therefore not confirmed by the official specifications of the Volnay AOC.

Histoire de la parcelle
Sur Roches is among the climats of Volnay listed in the application file for the Climats of the Burgundy vineyard for World Heritage status. The lieu-dit belongs to the parcel area of the AOC Volnay, recognized in 1937, but it does not appear in the regulatory list of climat names that can accompany the "premier cru" mention.
