2024 Les Horees, Beaune Rouge Les Prevolles 750ml

“The origin of the term Les Horées lies in Greek mythology. There are plenty of different explanations, and I am still looking for a good book to better understand its history and evolution. I describe Les Horées as the feast to celebrate the changing of the seasons. The goddesses of the seasons are called Horae (hours), and one can find the etymology of the word Horées there.” - Catharina and Guilhem Sadde
