Arrives June
The name "Les Horées" derives from Greek mythology. Catharina Sad (owner/winemaker) says there are many different interpretations, but she describes "Les Horées" as marking the change in seasons. The goddesses of the seasons are called "Horae" (hours).
Jasper Morris:
"This year Mon Poulain is a 50/50 blend of Morgon with Mâconnais pinot. Bottled on Monday, opened on Wednesday, being tasted on Thursday! Lush crimson, with immediate joy on the fruit. Smoky and peppery but such an exuberant fruit. A wine made to give pleasure, and it does. Drink from 2026-2028. Tasted Oct 2025."
