🏰 The 2022 Burgundy vintage is proving to be excellent, characterized by a hot and dry summer that produced sunny, supple whites and silky, red-fruit Pinot Noir. Despite early concerns about heat and drought, timely rainfall and careful vineyard management resulted in wines with ripeness and ample texture, balanced by surprising freshness and energy. Les Horées, a boutique winery founded by Catharina Sadde (who trained at DRC and other renowned estates), focuses on biodynamic viticulture and an artisanal approach. Their Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Fichots 2022, a refined dry red Pinot Noir from a cool, late-ripening, northeast-facing site, reveals an enveloping fragrance of blackcurrant, ripe cherries, berries, and a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, it offers a well-structured, silky texture and a juicy profile with a pleasant salinity, providing freshness and balance. 【 Biodynamic, artisanal, and terroir-driven 】 🍴 This elegant red Burgundy is versatile with food. It would be excellent with roasted poultry, pan-seared duck breast, mushroom tarts, or delicate game dishes. Its freshness and red fruit notes also make it a good match for charcuterie or mild, earthy cheeses. 🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special family meal, or a gathering of wine lovers exploring the nuances of Burgundy's lesser-known Premier Crus. It's a wine that speaks of careful craftsmanship and a unique terroir.
