Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2020 Bourgogne Aligoté En Coulezain is a fine follow-up to the superb 2019, exhibiting notes of crisp green apple, pear, freshly baked bread and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, layered and incisive, with tangy acids and chalky structuring extract, it concludes with a long, saline finish. More tightly wound than its immediate predecessor, it will reward at least a year or two of bottle age.
About the Producer
Les Horées is the culmination of a decade of fine tuning Catharina Sadde 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.
