Les Plaisirs et les Jours is a refined and poetic wine experience, celebrating the simple pleasures and elegance of Savigny-lès-Beaune, with a touch of sophistication.
More infoLes Plaisirs et les Jours is a red wine produced by the young estate Les Horées. This Savigny-lès-Beaune appellation wine is exclusively produced from Pinot Noir grapes. The vines thrive on a terroir of clay-limestone soils that contribute to the wine’s depth and minerality. The grapes are hand-picked, and vinification starts with a traditional fermentation process in stainless steel vats, with regular punch downs to gently extract the aromas and tannins. The juice is then aged in oak casks for 12 to 14 months to develop complex aromas of red fruit, cherry, strawberry and raspberry, combined with subtle notes of spice and vanilla. On the palate, this nectar is silky, with well-integrated tannins and an elegant finish. This elixir strikes a fine balance between fruit and structure, offering a refined taste experience.

About the Producer Les Horées
While you may not have heard of Les Horées before, we highly recommend that you get acquainted with this rising star without further ado!
At its helm is Catharina Sadde, a German-born winemaker married to Guilhem, who founded the estate named in tribute to the joyful celebrations of ancient Greece. The inaugural vintage of this tiny one-hectare property was released in 2019 and quickly drew attention. Little wonder, given Sadde’s pedigree: she studied at Germany’s leading viticultural school and at Montpellier SupAgro, then honed her craft with some of Burgundy’s most esteemed growers: Cécile Tremblay, Comte de Vogüé, Marquis d’Angerville and, no less than Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Quite the track record!
Her approach in the vineyard is meticulous and profoundly respectful of nature. The estate is certified biodynamic, and a horse is used to plough the soils, helping to keep them open and alive. Today, Catharina and Guilhem tend just over three hectares of Pinot Noir and Aligoté.
In the winery, the same precision carries through. Sulphur is avoided except for the slightest homeopathic dose at bottling, and native yeasts are preserved. The resulting wines are marked by their incredible finesse, pristine freshness and airy texture. Aromatic, lively and deeply seductive nectars.
