FEATURES
🏰 The 2020 Les Horées Gevrey-Chambertin 'En Reniard' is a small-production gem from a rising star in 布根地(Burgundy), crafted by Catharina Sadde. The 'En Reniard' parcel is located on the northern edge of Gevrey-Chambertin, characterized by gravelly limestone soils and cooler air drainage, which moderates ripening. The 2020 vintage in 布根地(Burgundy) was unusual due to the global pandemic and unusually high temperatures, yet it is largely considered excellent. Catharina Sadde's meticulous approach includes hand-harvesting, native yeast fermentation, and aging in older barrels to maintain clarity and express terroir. The wine reflects a pure, old-school 布根地(Burgundy) style with minimal intervention. It has received strong critical acclaim, including 91 points from Robert Parker and Wine Advocate. 【Pure and poised Burgundy from a rising star】

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, velvety, and perfumed, with fine-boned structure, lively acids, and a long, penetrating finish. Some reviewers also note dark cherry, strawberry jam, floral notes, and a savory character.
🍴 This Gevrey-Chambertin 'En Reniard' is perfect with duck confit, game birds, roasted quail, mushroom risotto, or soft cheeses like Époisses. Its elegant profile also complements roasted lamb or fine charcuterie.
🥂 This wine is ideal for a sophisticated dinner, a special gathering of wine connoisseurs, or as a valuable addition to a 布根地(Burgundy) collection. It's a wine that balances power and finesse, offering both immediate enjoyment and excellent aging potential, with a drinking window from 2023 to 2040.
