Domaine Horgelus - La Valse des Mansengs 2017
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“Winning the ‘Coup de Coeur’ award two years in a row is no small feat. Horgelus has achieved this with this Valse des Mansengs, which features a touch of Sauvignon Blanc to give its Gascon vines that extra bit of character that gives structure to great white wines. A luminous golden hue and an intense nose of citrus (pink grapefruit) and ripe fruit (apricot, pineapple, mango), subtly tinged with hints of boxwood, create a most inviting first impression. The palate displays impeccable balance, offering both vigor and elegance, smoothness and freshness. » (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) A cuvée synonymous with pleasure!

About the estate:
A certified oenologist, Yoann Le Menn took over the estate founded by his grandfather between Ténarèze and Bas-Armagnac in 2007, at the age of twenty-one; the estate now covers 90 hectares. He produces Armagnac, alongside wines designated as Côtes-de-Gascogne PGI. To preserve the berries’ aromatic freshness, he prefers to harvest at night.
